Extended functionality of the Integrated Case Management System of the Justice Ministry

Background

The Integrated Case Management System (ICMS) is a multifunctional system used in all Judicial Courts in Moldova. The system was designed to improve the courts’ efficiency, transparency, and public access through automation and tracking of a case life cycle from initial filing to disposition and appeal. It facilitates efficient and reliable collection, organization, distribution, and retrieval of significant amounts of case-specific data.

Goal

The Ministry of Justice was looking to extend the functionality of its ICMS by building and integrating a secure E-Filing system to provide an efficient, cost-effective and reliable platform for submitting and processing court documents electronically. This system is part of Government for Government (G4G) and Government for Citizens (G4C) programs and it interconnects with several existing e-governance solutions in Moldova.

Solution

Our team has chosen Drupal to build the E-Filing system due to its reliability, flexibility, ease of customization, scalability and security. The Web-based system accepts electronic documents via Web portals and securely distributes these documents to the appropriate court where they can be accepted into the case management system. It allows to automatically register all users’ actions, gather detailed data, and register all requests related to the case management process. It also allows for real-time tracking.
