New case Criminal e-filing
The Indiana Supreme Court approves CSI�s statewide JTS solution to accommodate e-Filing of initial information and pleadings in criminal cases after civil e-Filing has successfully commenced in a CSI county, as determined by the Indiana Supreme Court eFile Steering Committee. CSI customers will receive and transmit initial E-Filing submissions between the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council�s Electronic Filing Service Provider and the statewide JTS case management system. As of this announcement, the new Indiana Supreme Court e-Filing system still can NOT provide initial case criminal e-filing and if and when they do, it will not provide a two-way integration that the JTS, Doxpop (EFM) and IPAC e-File system can provide and has provided since 2008.

CSI has also been providing citation e-filing since 2009, provides on-line citation payment, pioneered court document imaging and scanning in 2004 and is still awaiting since 2006 an approval from the Indiana Supreme Court to post public documents to the Doxpop system.

CSI still has the only Statewide CMS in Indiana
In January 2014, CSI released its JTS Statewide Search that connects JTS customers to over 27 million public court records in 348 courts in 90 of the 92 counties. JTS is the only CMS in Indiana to be connected statewide. CSI provided the Indiana Supreme Court with an API connection to the statewide JTS repository in 2010. JTS Statewide Search is a free tool for all CSI customers.

JTS eFile System Gets Certified April 2016
CSI is pleased to announce that its statewide JTS system is now certified to interface with the new Indiana eFiling System (IEFS) AND that CSI has also been approved by the Indiana Supreme Court (ISC) for new case criminal eFiling system with the Doxpop eFiling Manager (EFM) and the Indiana Prosecutor Case Management System (INPCMS). The ISC issued an order concerning electronic filing and electronic service in all Indiana courts. CSI has been working closely with the ISC and Tyler Technologies since July 2015 in order to interface with the new eFiling system. CSI would like to thank Judge Antrim, Judge Kiracofe and Clerk Runkle for partnering with CSI on this eFiling project. Wells County is the first JTS County to begin eFiling with the new IEFS. CSI is no stranger to eFiling and has been the market leader in Indiana with a proven track record. In 2002, CSI was the first CMS in Indiana to eFile with both the BMV (SR-16) and the Indiana Department of Revenue (Tax Warrants). CSI once again made history in 2008 with the first ever statewide eFiling of data for new criminal cases filings using the Doxpop EFM and INPCMS. Security Concerns Are Not a Problem for JTS eFile. JTS has been the choice for judges and clerks who want a statewide system that gives them local control and does NOT expose their data to internet hackers. In contrast, all web-based and cloud-based systems are exposed to internet hackers and they are routinely hacked. JTS was designed purposefully NOT to be a web-based or cloud-based system and CSI has perfected the ability for its JTS CMS to share court information statewide. It is important to understand that the new IEFS is a web-based system that requires access to a local court’s CMS. Since we know web-based systems are routinely hacked, CSI developed the JTS eFile system so that it will interface with the IEFS system but it will NOT expose the JTS CMS to internet hackers.

Probation and Community Corrections Collaboration
For our Probation and Community Corrections users, CSI is no doubt in the best position to offer the kind of collaberation that is desired by the state. CSI has been closely working with the Division of State Court Administration (STAD), Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and the Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC) and there have been many important state mandated changes over the past several years. CSI is very proud to be able to work with these agencies and to comply with all mandates. Of current importance for Probation and Community Corrections is the requirement to collaborate. CSI offers the ONLY statewide CMS in Indiana that can search and access a person or case from over 25 MILLION current and historical public court cases from 348 courts in 88 Indiana counties. The statewide JTS CMS is fully integrated with our Clerk, Probation and Community Corrections systems which ensure the accurate exchange of information between the courts, clerk, probation and community corrections agencies.

From one user friendly interface, CSI court, clerk, probation and community corrections customers have the unique ability to collaborate. Using our JTS Access, a CSI user can search and access a person or case from over 25 million court records from 348 courts in 88 Indiana counties, can access the court CCS and link to the electronic court document tied to the CCS entry, can access complete probation and community corrections information from our unique Client Summary Sheet (CSS), a user can see a complete court, probation and community corrections calendar, can see all the case financial and payment history information, can see related cases, get a warrant/restricted/expunge case alert, can print several standard reports (Warrant Report, Judgement Book, New Case Filings Report, Custom Calendar Report and CSS) and a user can access electronically any court document for download and sharing. Once a form or report is created and captured electronically, this information can be shared electronically via email with our power eNotice system. Now that is collaboration!

Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Mandate
For the past several years the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) has been engaged in several juvenile justice reform projects. Two of the projects are the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) and the federally mandated Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) project. CSI has been closely working with ICJI in order for our probation case management system to be in compliance with the data collection and reporting requirements.

DMC Project. Beginning this year the ICJI will be holding meetings with all probation officers and working with probation systems to comply with the mandatory DMC reporting requirements. CSIs Probation system is in compliance with the proper DMC data collection and reporting requirements.

JDAI Project. CSI in a partnership with Kory George, Chief Probation Officer for Wayne County, are working together and we have developed a new JDAI module for the collection and reporting of this information.

Consultant Recommends CMS choice
Per Legislative mandate, the Judicial Technology Oversight Committee (JTOC) hired KSM Consulting to conduct a study of the CMS marketplace and to make a recommendation to the Indiana Supreme Court regarding court record keeping technology. We are very pleased to announce that in March 2015 not only did KSM Consulting recommend local decision making is the recommended direction but the Legislature this past session responded by increasing the funding for CMS choice by increasing the Document Storage fee from $2 to $5. Since nearly all of our customers have already purchased our JTS Imaging system for document imaging, scanning and e-filing, the entire $5 can be used to entirely offset the annual support costs of the statewide JTS CMS.

The KSM Consulting report also noted where CMS competition is working in other states and warned where the pursuit of a single statewide CMS failed miserably in California. California has now adopted a best in class marketplace approach and choice for court technology statewide. The KSM Consulting report also noted the dangers of giving one CMS vendor a statewide monopoly and highlighted six states that gave the same vendor a CMS monopoly only to be notified this past October that their statewide CMS vendor filed for bankruptcy and was exiting the justice software business.
