Criminal Justice

Integrated Case Management System

NewSouth is overseeing the Enterprise Project Management Office for the Integrated Case Management System (ICMS) implementation for the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts. This is a fundamentally transformative initiative that will replace the majority of the agency’s legacy civil, criminal, and juvenile legacy applications with an integrated solution based on Tyler Technologies criminal justice suite of commercial-off-the-shelf products. NewSouth is providing Program Management, Project Management, organizational assessment, strategic planning, business analysis, and vendor management services. This engagement began in May 2019 and is expected to run for roughly 5 years.

North Carolina Warrant Repository System (NCAWARE)

NewSouth provided Project Management services, business analysis services, Java/J2EE programming services, database management services, and Quality Assurance Testing services for the custom design, construction, and implementation of the North Carolina Warrant Repository System (NCAWARE) for the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). NCAWARE is a statewide warrant repository that includes all criminal processes, such as warrants, magistrate orders, citations that lead to an arrest, criminal summons, orders for arrest, release orders, and appearance bonds. It also tracks information and details for all people and businesses involved in such processes (defendants, victims, witnesses, etc.). The system is currently deployed in all 100 of North Carolina’s counties and is used by more than 45,000 end-users, including all state and local law enforcement officers through personal computers in the patrol cars.
