Case Management
Supports the creation and management of digital cases through their end-to-end lifecycle, including manual filing by court clerks.
Document Management
Facilitates the storage and management of state, circuit, and county documents.

Looking back at Phase 1:
INITIAL DISCOVERY HIGHLIGHTS
Over three months, we conducted immersive discovery activities to ensure that we gathered as much input as
possible from the future users of the new system. At the end of this phase, we had a well-defined set of core
features and functionality that allowed us to move into the Build phase with a solid road map for delivery.
