The story

The original company was formed in 1992 to deliver overt based software to law enforcement organisations in the UK. The company was then bought by ZEDA Limited in 1997 to combine the overt with covert products, such as informant management and covert operation. The company changed its name to ABM in 1998 and now provides software to law enforcement, security agencies and large commercial organisations that require investigative management to counter fraud, counterfeiting and smuggling operations.
