Our friends with the IJIS Institute
Courts Advisory Committee have developed a web-based tool to help court
practitioners find information about technology vendors and products that align
with the Court
Component Model. Jenny Bunch of
ImageSoft shared the following write-up on behalf of the IJIS Courts Advisory
Committee . . .
ICAC’s new free directory service at http://www.icacprovdir.ijis.org/
While Google works well for casting a wide net, sometimes
what you really need is a sieve. Enter the Court
Technology Provider Directory or “Court
Tech Directory” – a simple, easy-to-use web tool that enables court
professionals and technology solution providers to connect the dots between business
needs and technology offerings.
Benefits for courts
On the Court Tech Directory’s website (http://www.icacprovdir.ijis.org/),
courts simply select the desired business capabilities and search to find
matching applications as indicated by industry solution providers. Hovering over a capability brings up its
applicable definition. This is so a user can confirm right away what is covered
and what is not when making a selection.
Want a list of products for further consideration? Select
the ones you want from the search results and request a file download, or
bulk-email the providers of all products you selected, right from the search results.
The Court Tech
Directory is a free service to the court community. It helps courts cut through the marketing and
corporate lingo and get to the heart of the available solutions for their
specific business challenges; all in one place.
Benefits for solution providers
Receive
leads directly from the service, via emails that users trigger one by one, or
via bulk-emails from users who are shortlisting just the products they are
interested in.
Solution
providers may increase visibility for and access to their offerings by creating
and maintaining their listings on the service. Rather than having their
products and services lumped into a generic bucket of case management,
providers have a searchable channel to show which specific business needs their
offerings address. This service is provided without charge to solution
providers.
Forging the new path
The technology components used in the directory are the same
as those laid out by the Joint Technology Committee’s (JTC) Resource Bulletin titled Introduction
to the Next-Generation Court Technology Standards Application Component Model. The Court Component Model introduced last
year by the Joint Technology Committee (JTC) of COSCA, NACM
and NCSC looks to define a new way forward
in developing, acquiring and implementing technology in the courts.
The Court Tech
Directory is curated by the IJIS Courts Advisory Committee (ICAC) to
promote the clarity and integrity of the information in the directory. The ICAC
reviews solution provider submissions and requests clarification regarding the
product information submitted before it is publicly available on the directory.
