CIJIMS Project Update (Comprehensive Integrated Justice Information Management System) April 22, 2010 TCJIUG Annual Conference Corpus Christi, Texas
CIJIMS Project In July 2007, the Texas Association of Counties CIRA Board of Directors received a proposal from the CIRA IT Advisory Committee to conduct a study to determine interest in and feasibility of an integrated county owned software system to include comprehensive integrated criminal and civil justice and financial systems. Such a system would: Ultimately provide a completely integrated software package that would allow information to flow smoothly among all the various departments in the county. Enable counties to more easily relocate operations to another county in the event of a disaster. Allow counties to have direct input as to the features and functionality of the software program. Standardize information management across the state, thereby allowing free information exchange among counties and between counties and other levels of government.
CIJIMS Project - 2 The proposed system would also: Potentially reduce cost to procure county software and, in the long term, reduce annual maintenance costs. Reduce county hardware costs by using a web-based, hosted solution. Allow any new legislative mandates affecting the system to be implemented for all counties using the system uniformly. Give participating counties ownership and control of the software/data.
