Mr. William Yeh, the President and CEO of CSI, has announced a major market plan for the company to become a leading ASP (Application Service Provider) serving court administration, district attorneys, prosecutors, sheriffs, law firms and Bar associations throughout the USA. CSI's new web-based LawOnNet.com service gives attorneys and their staffs the tools to manage cases and clients, arrange calendars, process billing, scan documents, build reports and communicate their performance with other partners or headquarters.

§ New Product for Major Market

LawOnNet.com is strictly an online service, through secured broadband or VPN access, that customers rent --- priced at about $50 a month per user --- and access using a browser.

§ Customers: US Law Firms

Based on the latest market research from American Bar Association, population of professional attorneys in tri-state area (Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York) is over 180,000, and the total number of attorneys nationwide is over 1 million. Hypothetically, one attorney has at least 2 legal assistants helping him with the documentation production and case management, so in tri-state area, the minimum users for this service would be more than half million. The minimum LawOnNet.com market in this area could be worth more than $324 million, and the nation-wide market could even be worth more than $1.8 billion annually. This is based on the $50 charge a month per user in private law firms. This estimate does not include attorneys and law enforcement personnel who work for court administration, prosecutors, and sheriffs. The overall market value could reach even much higher with the income from advertisements and other related e-services, which are not yet included in the gross annual market value $1.8 billion.

§ A Valued Service for Small Businesses

ASPs provide remote access to business-use software, typically for the price of a monthly subscription fee, ASPs allow companies to offload their technology needs, including staff and equipment, for a monthly fee that covers a rental of expensive software applications that small businesses couldn't otherwise afford. Users access the software through a Web browser via a leased telecommunications line or over the Internet. In most cases, the company pays for the software license up front and strikes a three-year maintenance agreement so it doesn't have to deal with upgrades or technical problems. Customers can avoid system administration problems and save 70 percent in up-front costs by renting all software applications, rather than buying themselves.

§ Alliances

AT&T recently announced its wide-ranging "ASP ecosystem" program, aimed at bringing small applications servers onto the AT&T network. As a part of that program, it committed $500 million to a fund aimed at investing in applications service provider start-ups. CSI's LawOnNet.com plans to align with these communications companies, which provide high-speed (or called "broadband") services, such as Bell Atlantic, AT&T, and AboveNet, to serve its target market niche in legal community.

Market research firm Dataquest projects the ASP market could be worth nearly $23 billion by 2003.

§ CSI's Experience and Reputation

While most ASP companies are still in the initial period of focusing on developing applications for sales automation and human resource data management, CSI has already successfully launched its well-developed applications and has performed as the dominant ASP in New Jersey's law enforcement community. CSI applications have been used by the Office of Public Defender in New Jersey, Office of Attorney Ethics of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, County Prosecutor Offices, and pending installation in other law enforcement offices throughout the State of New Jersey.

CSI Technology Group's leading software, Infoshare, integrates the applications of case management, document management, word processing and criminal mug shot systems into one single total solution, specially designed for the criminal justice community. Its Prosecutor’s Office edition has greatly improved the manageability and efficiency of the day to day operations of prosecutor’s offices. Infoshare provides investigators and prosecutors easy-to-use interfaces for managing cases and retrieving documents electronically. It also provides supervising prosecutors or chief officers the informative reports ranging from the overall efficiency of the office, the calendar of scheduled court events, the workload and backlog of each attorney and real time status of every pending case or the result of every closed case. Best of all, Infoshare utilizes user-friendly web browsers as the interface to all of its features. Now these applications developed by CSI are ready to serve nation-wide court administration, district attorneys, prosecutors, sheriffs, law firms and Bar associations.

CSI Technology Group is at the leading edge of the software companies, developing the multiple-tier and web-based applications, which use the same open standards adopted by the Internet community. They are deployed on Microsoft Widows NT and Unix platforms and scripted in Visual Basic, JavaScript, Java and Linux Technology to integrate various components and systems. Best of all, these applications' modularized design, which could completely reuse programming codes (ASPsoft - CSI in-house developed utility), and can save 80% of program-developing time comparing to any other competitors. Furthermore, these applications use ODBC as the data retrieval mechanism allowing access to various database management systems.
