Explanation
BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge to enter into contract with CourtView Justice Solutions Inc to create a communication interface between Courtview software and Ohio Community Supervision System (OCSS) and authorizes the expenditure of up to $105,590.00. The passing of Ordinance 0783-2017 allowed the Court to contract with StepMobile, LLC for OCSS.
The OCSS is an automated shared case management software application developed to allow Ohio probation and parole agencies involved in the supervision of defendants/offenders the ability to access the same information. To maintain the integrity of Courtview, OCSS cannot directly connect to Courtview. Courtview Justice Solutions Inc., has created an interface that will stand as a middleware between Courtview and OCSS and not compromise the integrity of the Courtview software. This middleware will receive data from both systems as well as submit data to each. This interface will allow real time view of current statewide probationer information to Courtview as well as OCSS.
The implementation of the OCSS interface will assist the court to improve workflow by utilizing technology and reducing staff time re-keying date and scanning documents into both systems minimizing the delay in communication.
These systems will be used by the Court’s Probation Department, Specialized Docket Courts, and the Environmental Court.
CourtView Justice Solutions Inc.’s contract compliance number is 460521050 and expires on 9/5/2019.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available within the 2018 Specialized Docket Fund Budget.
EMERGENCY: Emergency legislation is requested to allow the Court to begin the work required to implement use of the interface.
