Information is the lifeblood of the criminal justice community. Every day, the decisions of judges, police officers, prosecutors, corrections officers, and public defenders across the country are guided by the data available to them. As crime does not respect political boundaries or jurisdictional lines, justice professionals must be able to collect and analyze data from multiple agencies and jurisdictions when making decisions.
Access to information, however, is more often defined by technological boundaries than by agency needs. Even as courts and justice agencies have moved toward electronic case management systems, vendors and technical differences have precluded exchanging information electronically. Reluctantly, justice professionals often enter data into multiple databases or print and mail documents in order to disseminate important information.
To solve this issue, we offer you the ability to have custom interfaces created, allowing you to electronically share data with key organizations. We offer two methods for accomplishing this: use our experienced data exchange developers to create interfaces for you, using our JusticeBroker middleware platform, or create interfaces yourself using our JustWare Application Programming Interface (API).
Advantages of data exchanges include:
• Maximize available information
• Reduce data entry effort
• Decrease your workload
• Reduce overhead costs
• Enhance security
Contact a New Dawn account executive to learn more about the advantages of data exchanges and to help you determine whether a JusticeBroker or JustWare API exchange would work better for you.
