Case Study: SmartWater Technology Ltd achieves watertight, scalable forensic evidence management with InterSystems Caché

InterSystems Cache ensures SmartWater-based forensic evidence is watertight

SmartWater Technology Ltd, maker of a forensic anti-crime spray with a billion possible chemical markers and a 100% conviction rate when used as evidence, needed a new production and user-registration system that would keep the evidential chain watertight. Facing a rapid volume ramp-up and reliance on paperwork, spreadsheets and filing cabinets, the company required secure, highly traceable storage for vast combinatorial data and a fast, user-friendly front end for production staff.

Xebec Information Systems implemented an InterSystems Caché solution with Advanced Security, Zen UI and barcode-driven workflows, replacing paper processes with a tamper-resistant, auditable database deployed on time (Nov 2007). The result was a faster, low‑administration system (Caché’s object storage and SQL performance), immediate courtroom-quality traceability down to the minute, and a platform that supports a projected ten-fold rise in monthly production.
