Investigative Search in the Past and Today
Some Background
The United States military originally developed computerized On-line
Database Retrieval Systems during the 1950s. By 1983, dramatic developments
in the banking industry, combined with certain political changes, brought
about a sharp increase in the private use and commercial availability
of database information. Over the past 20 years, on-line databases have
expanded more than 500%, and that pace continues to accelerate on the
international side.
It is our belief that the domestic surge of computerized on-line database
products is now coming to an end. The regulatory agencies, privacy community
and their political agents have all come together to search for a means
to stop the growth of on-line database access. We believe this will
result in terrible problems for the banking, and investment community
as fraud, embezzlement, and theft pervades these industries.

World Wide Data Source
On the international side, ICI has a wealth of regional ground sources. These assets have unique access to proprietary databases that can be searched for difficult to find data. For example, ICI is often used to locate hidden assets, discover covert business relationships, and trace missing or embezzled funds. Our international sources, both electronic and human are unparalleled in the private intelligence community.
ICI can trace exfiltrated assets from companies or organizations by former employers seeking to convert hard assets or intellectual property assets. Our contacts extend across the banking, financial, credit, and corporate on-line communities, to name but a few.

Lawyers Manage the Law and the Client - - ICI Manages the Facts and How to Find Them.
Many attorneys use databases to search out case law, precedent, and
judicial rulings in order to fashion their legal strategy, leaving substantive
support for their case to other sources.
It is now easy to use database searches to find needed material facts,
check credentials of expert witnesses, obtain biographical background,
trace assets, and retrieve earlier court and media records at a reasonable
cost.
ICI, familiar with electronic sources and understanding
of what litigators and legal strategists need, knows how to find and
report the facts required.
During the past 24 years, ICI has been engaged by attorneys throughout
the United States to handle some of the most complex and difficult federal
criminal and international investigations.
During this time, ICI began to integrate the firm's investigative expertise
and the emerging computerized on-line database investigations industry
in an effort to reduce litigation costs for its clients.

Advantages of Our Services |
As an outside provider of investigative services, ICI removes the client
from direct involvement with sensitive inquiries. This is one reason
ICI's client list includes many of America's largest and most prestigious
law firms which have their own in-house electronic database capability.
Among the advantages it offers, ICI
- Conducts all inquiries, electronic and otherwise, on its own authority. The law firm client, and its ultimate client, is not identified with the investigation.
- Keeps abreast of new database sources used in various legal specialties. ICI constantly uses these sources and knows their capabilities from experience.
- Expands to meet unusually complex or particularly urgent assignments, thus eliminating the need for the law firm client to strain its own staff resources.
- Combines electronic searches with on-site investigations, when necessary. Performs at substantially lower overall cost for large investigations than does the law firm's in-house electronic library.

ICI, the answer to all your computer intelligence needs |
From 1989 to the present ICI has researched, developed and perfected
several proprietary products and processes that are unique to the on-line
database investigations industry. It has used these tools, combined
with human assets, to provide corporations and law firms some of the
finest intelligence products available to the private sector.
While most firms may have access to the contents of the same toolbox,
ICI has developed its own "sniffing software" which contains
artificial intelligence agents that conduct relational studies and correlates
this information with data obtained from other sources. A complete,
source annotated report is presented with the downloaded optical images
direct from the on-line source.
