Report 2010-102: Administrative Office of the Courts: The Statewide Case Management Project Faces Significant Challenges Due to Poor Project Management (Release Date: February 2011)

Recommendation #29 To: Administrative Office of the Courts

Before embarking on future statewide IT initiatives and to ensure it secures appropriate support from users of the systems being proposed, the AOC should take steps to ensure that superior courts support the solution the AOC is proposing to address the need, which could include conducting a survey of courts to determine their level of support.

1-Year Agency Response

The AOC stated regional meetings provide a solid foundation for the AOC and the courts to share information to learn about, better understand, and evaluate statewide technology needs. The AOC also stated the Judicial Council’s Court Technology advisory committee, trial court presiding judges advisory committee, and court executives advisory committee provide additional avenues of communication that enhance the exchange of information between and among the AOC and the courts to influence the direction and strategies for future statewide technology improvements. The AOC indicated that statewide meetings of presiding judges and court executive officers build on those committee meetings to ensure that superior court feedback is received.
