We began as a full-service Computer Consulting Firm called Great Scott Enterprises, Inc. (GSE), founded by Scott Greene as he worked for IBM in the early 1980's. GSE initially provided custom programming solutions based on database products that were available at the time. Creating computer software solutions for businesses was Scott's passion. As the company continued to grow, creating entire networks of computers to serve business needs became part of the services that were available from GSE.
Several years into the company's existence, Scott was asked by an attorney to recover some data from a hard disk drive. As this was also a service the company offered, GSE took on the project. The attorney then told Scott that he would like to have him testify as to what had been recovered. Scott answered: "How hard could that be?". And the Computer Forensics Department of GSE was born.
The Computer Forensics Department grew rapidly as the need to recover data from computers for litigation purposes expanded rapidly.
In 2008 the Computer Forensics department of GSE became Evidence Solutions, Inc. (ESI).
In addition to Computer Forensics, ESI began to perform forensics on:
- Accounting & Medical Billing Systems
- Cell Phones & Mobile Devices
- Digital Cameras / Digital Photos
- Email Systems
- Printer & Fax Machines
- File Dates
- Source Code & Copyrights
As the company continued to grow, additional forensic services were added to the list:
- Car & Light Truck Black Box / Event Data Recorder / EDR
- Data Fabrication
- Digital Copiers
- Documents & Spreadsheets
- Electronic Devices
- Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
- GPS Systems
- Metadata
In 2010 at an Arizona Bar Association Convention, Scott discussed the merits of collecting data from Truck Accidents with two of the leaders in Truck Accident Investigations, Don Asa and Jim Acock of D&A Consultants, Inc. (D&A). The discussion led to the two companies partnering on several Truck Accident cases over the next couple of years. D&A's services included:
- Accident Consulting
- Driver Qualification Experts
- Expert Opinion
- FMCSR Experts - Rules & Regulations
- Research Services
- Truck Accident Case Consultation
- Truck Accident Investigation
As the two companies continued to work together, Black Box, ECM, ECU, EDR, DDEC, Downloads, & Analysis was added to the services available from D&A.
At one point, Scott talked with Don, the owner of D&A, about his company exit strategy. Nothing came to fruition between the two business owners until early 2012, when Scott agreed to take over as the company CEO and arranged to purchase the company.
The companies operated separately until early 2014, when D&A Consultants, Inc. merged with Evidence Solutions, Inc.
