The main project objectives are as follows:
The JJIS (Juvenile Justice Information System) needs to be upgraded to replace obsolete technology with technological advances and efficiencies
Upgrade the functionality of the current system with an improved system that reflects the current and future business processes of the Agency
Add needed functionality to improve the efficiency of the Agency
Improving the timeliness and accuracy of data input
Reducing the number and complexity of data input screens that the user must access on a daily basis
Consolidating the input screens required to complete a business process (i.e. setting up project funding)
Improving the integration between systems to eliminate the need for duplicate data entry
Accessing data from other source systems without porting the data into the JJIS database
Improving access to data via query screens, standard and ad hoc reports
Minimizing the need for expert knowledge to perform the various business processes (like creating a project) through the use of wizards (as a user option)
