Processing Criminals

Business Problem

Legacy system not flexible enough to meet demands of new legislation

Large volume and complex processing

The day-to-day influx of criminal records (i.e. arrests, custody records, registrations, etc.) is a large and complex data processing and storage task for the State of California.

Changes mandated by legislation

Changes in legislation and new user demands put a strain on the ability of the existing system to respond in a timely manner.

Distribute workload

It was essential to distribute the many tasks involved with criminal record processing to a new application for improved performance, modularity and user access.

Solution

Criminal Processor

The Criminal Processor was developed in order to off-load much of the mainframe processing of criminal records to a smaller, more flexible system.

Scalable and Maintainable Platform

The Criminal Processor provides a scalable and maintainable platform to move forward with changes and easily deployed enhancements to the current system.

Workflow Engine

The Criminal Processor is primarily a workflow engine that directs the processing and output flow of incoming criminal transaction types.

Error Resolution

The Criminal Processor also provides a user interface for error resolution as well as an easily searchable database.

Benefits

• Upgradable, scalable system that is independent of mainframe processing.
• Offers more flexibility for creating modifications and enhancements to the process workflow.
• Provides an easy to use user interface for access to records and process status
• With improved error resolution capabilities, the time needed for corrections to records is reduced and costs are lowered.
