Title
Resolution to Approve a Purchase Order to Michigan Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office for JIS for FY 2015 (Not to Exceed $45,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution authorizing a purchase order, not to exceed $45,000.00, to the State of Michigan Supreme Court's State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) for the annual software licensing and hosting costs for the Judicial Information System (JIS) case management software. JIS is provided by the State of Michigan Supreme Court's State Court Administrative Office for the 15th Judicial District Court use in its day-to-day operations.
Budget/Fiscal: This item was budgeted for $40,000 in the approved FY2015 Information Technology Services Unit budget. The actual amount of the annual maintenance and support costs varies depending on the average annual caseload. There are no additional funds being requested at this time. If additional funding is required it will come from the IT Operations budget. If this resolution is approved, there are no anticipated adverse operational impacts.
Acquisition, installation and implementation of JIS has permitted the Court to realize several significant operational advantages, including less labor-intensive case entry processes, enhanced unpaid fine/cost collections, electronic integration with the Secretary of State Office for license suspensions (a process that was performed manually) and enhanced case monitoring. JIS is hosted at the Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office Judicial Information System (SCAO-JIS) offices at the Hall of Justice in Lansing, Michigan.
The JIS case management software system is the only case management system managed and administered by the Supreme Court of Michigan through the State Court Administrative Office and annual licensing is provided under a sole source agreement with SCAO.
