Portland – Portland digital archivist Smarsh has acquired a company in London that specializes in preserving voice conversations.
According to Smarsh, the European Commission is designing regulations that would require investment firms to preserve all conversations around a prospective transaction, whether or not the transaction ultimately takes place.
Cognia, the company Smarsh bought on Thursday, offers electronic archiving of voice recordings — plus capabilities for searching and analyzing audio. Cognia employs a dozen people; Smarsh said it intends to retain them all.
