Magic Software To Enhance Web-Based Juvenile Tracking System
For The State Of Washington
Contract Valued At Close To $850,000
Irvine, California (June 17, 2003) - Magic Software Enterprises (Nasdaq: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art integration and development technology, announced today that it has been awarded a contract valued at close to $850,000 to provide second generation enhancements to the Web-based Juvenile and Corrections System (JCSJCS) for the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) for the State of Washington. With capacity for up to 10,000 users, the JCSJCS is targeted for statewide integration by Washington’s juvenile court system, including juvenile detention facilities in 39 counties.
"The JCSJCS system being implemented by the AOC is a great example of complex integration across a wide variety of state and local government infrastructures," said Menachem Hasfari, chief executive officer of Magic Software. "We are very pleased that the State of Washington has once again selected Magic Software to provide enhancements and capabilities to the JCSJCS system."
The JCSJCS to be delivered under the contract will replace an existing COBOL-based mainframe application. It will be integrated with AOC's existing applications, which run on an IBM OS/390 mainframe using DB2 as their database. In addition, the solution will be deployed using browser-based clients in order to minimize remote systems management. Among the enhancements to the JCSJCS system will be risk assessment reports, detention alerts, warrant status and outcomes and a snapshot view of any juvenile within the system statewide.
The intent is to provide those with a need and right to know as much useful information as possible in order to enhance the performance of juvenile justice statewide.
