We are a groundbreaking UK-based technology company
We have created Videris®, a unique research and intelligence platform

Our software began as a tool which drew information specifically from the Internet. Clients have long valued Videris’® ability to perform complex analysis on Internet data, secure in the knowledge that no vital information had been missed.

Today, Videris® is a complete research and intelligence platform. It enables the analyst to collect, store, search and analyse external data alongside a client’s own internal information. Furthermore, Videris can be customised to integrate with databases and data feeds specified by the client, such as e-disclosure or document management systems.

Videris is a discrete, compliant and regulated environment within which to conduct professional research.  Videris provides a single interface to bring together disparate data sources. This enables the user to create a corporate knowledge base on a range of topics and entities which can be used to identify networks, risks and opportunities for the client.

Transforming capability

Multinational corporations, international banks, leading law firms and government agencies rely on Videris®.

 

We are transforming their ability to gather and store intelligence and to understand markets, clients and geographies.

 

Clients are using Videris® to deepen their corporate knowledge on situations and entities to ensure maximum insight, develop business opportunities and to mitigate risk.

 

Videris allows our clients to turn internal corporate data into a real-world perspective. It is also used to identify fraud, resolve bribery and corruption cases and address risk around clients and counterparties.

Bringing together critical data sources

Organisations need to be able to collect and make sense of a range of internal and external information to make well-informed decisions.

 

Videris® brings together global corporate records, unstructured search engine content, social media, premium data sources and clients’ internal and external information in an intuitive and secure platform.

 

The ability to work seamlessly with external information alongside internal data is proving transformative for our clients.

 

Our clients use Videris® to conduct and host all of their research, from collection, to analysis, to visualisation.

Secure, flexible and intuitive

Using Videris® ensures that all research conducted online is entirely anonymous, secure and auditable.

 

Videris® is language and script independent. It is indispensable to any investigative or research project, regardless of geography.

 

Videris® can be installed on a local machine or in the cloud. Clouds can be accessed remotely from any location to allow optimal team working.

 

Each cloud instance is unique to a specific client. It is hosted entirely by the user and Blackdot has no access to client data.

 

Our staff can train a Videris® user in a single day.

FINANCIAL

Financial crime and financial intelligence teams are facing ever increasing demands, but their effectiveness has been hampered by a lack of outstanding technology. Videris® addresses a key part of this deficit.

 

Our banking clients are using Videris® to optimise their use of open source information in investigating fraud, market abuse, insider threat and high risk relationships and transactions. We are currently working with a number of the world’s leading banks to ensure that Videris® remains a transformative tool for the sector.
