Ohio Supreme Court Chooses Unisys to Integrate Court SystemsPilot for new customer will draw on company’s integrated justice expertise
BLUE BELL, Pa., July 12, 2007 – The Ohio Supreme Court has awarded Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) a contract to develop a pilot project for a judicial data warehouse to integrate data from information systems in 17 Ohio courts, the company announced today.
The one-year firm-fixed-price contract for the pilot project, known as the Ohio Courts Network (OCN), is valued at approximately $2.2 million. Future phases of the project will integrate the remaining 360 courts into the OCN. The end result will be “one-stop shopping” for Ohio court data that will enable statistical analysis and search capability across jurisdictions.
Unisys will download, integrate and securely store information from the courts and create an interface to other state agencies, including the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the Ohio Department of Corrections. The company also will provide project management services.
Through this project, participating courts and other justice system partners around the state ultimately will benefit from improved inter-jurisdictional communications and access to critical judiciary data in a real-time environment.
“Collaboration and sharing information are paramount given the heightened state of security worldwide” said Gerry Wethington, vice president, Justice and Public Safety, Unisys.
“Integrated justice is all about security, agility and dependability, all of which provides courts and their justice system partners with timely and improved decision-making capabilities.”
The OCN’s infrastructure will consist of Unisys ES7000-series server platforms and will use Microsoft’s SQL database for the centralized data warehouse.
Unisys partner on this project, Metatomix of Waltham, Mass., will provide its Judiciary Inquiry System (JIS) dashboard and associated inquiry capabilities to the integration, helping Unisys to deliver a proven solution for the customer. Metatomix previously deployed a similar system for the Supreme Court of Florida.
