Keasbey, NJ, October 15, 2005 – For a number of years we have been hearing our clients say, "too bad InfoShare doesn’t interface with Promis Gavel". Well, that phrase is about to become history. Thanks to the persistence of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and major development advancements of InfoShare at CSI Technology Group, the AOC has agreed to do a data export of Promis Gavel input that can be downloaded into the InfoShare application. That’s something that all Record Room personnel can cheer about. Now, attorneys and investigators can have the latest information at their fingertips.

As all of you are aware, it is required that basic defendant and charge information be input into Promis Gavel. Most of that same information is separately entered into the InfoShare Case Management System. Users have been concerned about the time and effort expended for this "double entry" function, but performed the input into both systems so that they could utilize the features of InfoShare not available in Promis Gavel.

In cooperation with the AOC, we have developed an acceptable data transfer solution that maintains the integrity of each system. Data entered into Promis Gavel, on any given day, can be exported to a file on the Prosecutor’s Office server. The InfoShare application will run an “overnight” program to pull the data from the file and populate all the appropriate records. So, one time data input into Promis Gavel will now create and update records in InfoShare. Please note that this is a "one-way" process, as data entered into InfoShare does not transfer to Promis Gavel. Therefore, the AOC maintains the integrity of limited access data entry, while InfoShare provides all authorized Prosecutor’s Office staff with easy access to case information and the ability to generate notices and documents in InfoShare.

We appreciate the work by AOC personnel who have made this happen for the Prosecutors’ Offices. We, at CSI, also had quite a task for developing the base data transfer and record population program. This is a significant "programming man-hour" type project for us, of which we bear all the up front costs. As usual, pricing for this service is based on the anticipation that multiple offices will elect it, thereby keeping costs down for all clients. We are about to give this operation a trial run at the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, and then make this “service enhancement” available to our other clients in New Jersey.

The anticipated result of this program – a significant reduction in data input time by the Record Room support staff, secretaries, and even for attorneys who are using the full features of the system to manage their cases. And, of course, the whole staff benefits when there is more time available to keep up with the heavy demands on the Prosecutor’s Office.
