MARKHAM, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 10/28/15 — VIQ Solutions Inc. (“VIQ”, “VIQ Solutions” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE: VQS) is pleased to announce that the Corporation–s South Africa-based reseller, Digital Voice Processing (“DVP”), has been selected by the Judicial Services Commission of Zimbabwe (“JSC”) to provide a digital audio capture and management solution for their magistrate–s courtrooms.
The initial contract is for the provision of our advanced digital recording solution, along with the associated content management, playback and transcription management software and hardware, for eighty courtrooms across Zimbabwe. The contract is expected to continue to grow in 2016, with additional rooms and functionality being added. The JSC is also planning on taking advantage of VIQ–s sophisticated workflow and collaboration features by adding network functionality in the future.
“We are delighted to add the Zimbabwe Magistrates Courts to our continuously growing list of esteemed court recording customers that are undergoing modernization initiatives and making the move to a secure, scalable digital recording system,” said Sebastien Pare, President and CEO of VIQ Solutions. “With VIQ, the Zimbabwe JSC has chosen a flexible, agile solution that will change with them as their needs grow. This initial implementation marks the beginning of a long, successful relationship with the Zimbabwe Judicial Service Commission.”
The prestigious digital court recording contract follows numerous recent wins for DVP including the Mpumalanga (South Africa) Provincial Legislature, the National Assembly in Mauritius, the Lesotho Judiciary and the South African National Defense Force. The installation in Zimbabwe brings the total number of African countries running VIQ–s powerful software solutions to fourteen, all of whom are supported by DVP and their local partners.
