Six-year contract | 55% recurring revenue | 45% software license

VIQ Solutions Inc. (“VIQ” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture Exchange: VQS and OTC Markets: VQSLF) a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and video capture technology and transcription services, today announced the award of a USD$1.2M technology contract with the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General (DJAG) to provide digital capture and management of official court records.

Upon completion of an extensive review of the current services for recording and transcription of court and tribunal proceedings, DJAG decided to explore innovative ideas and new developments in technology for Queensland’s recording and transcription system. The need to create a new service delivery model to ensure the quality and timeliness of court transcripts in Queensland while providing the best overall value for money was identified.

DJAG selected Spark & Cannon, a VIQ subsidiary, to supply fixed and portable court recording solutions for several hundred rooms across multiple jurisdictions in a complex and decentralized environment in Queensland. The company will conduct a phased implementation of its CapturePro™ Solution Suite, which includes:

  • CapturePro, a robust and flexible software solution that captures and manages high-quality, multi-channel recordings of audio and video testimony
  • AccessPoint, a collaborative web portal that gives authorized users secure, private access to recorded content

“We are honored to be an integral partner to the DJAG service model, and believe our innovative solutions support their transformative strategy taking multi-channel digital court recording to the next level,” said Matthew Fowler, Managing Director, Spark and Cannon. “This award strengthens our presence in Brisbane and Queensland and showcases our secure, end-to-end workflow to increase efficiency, optimize workflow and simplify access to verbatim records for this prestigious court customer.”

“The Australian market has been an important part of the VIQ strategy for many years,” said Susan Sumner, VIQ Chief Operating Officer. “We are extremely pleased to implement our enhanced technologies supporting efficient and secure evidentiary content capture which is paramount for court and tribunal proceedings.”
