The Indiana Supreme Court has for now locked out doxpop.com but also the CMSs that supplies doxpop.com its information. One such CMS is from my Hoosier company (CSI) that has 48 Hoosier counties as its partner. At no charge to the county, CSI supplies Doxpop its information from those counties wishing to post their public case information to the Doxpop system every ten minutes.

CSI pioneered CMS software in Indiana in 1986. CSI was the first vendor in Indiana to provide e-filing with the BMV and Indiana Department of Revenue. CSI was the CMS that provided the pioneering doxpop system with the Monroe County data in 2002. And now CSI and Doxpop have partnered with Proslink (another Hoosier software company that provides prosecutor management software for 89 Hoosier counties) to provide criminal case e-filing. The next step is to get approval from the Indiana Supreme Court to provide infraction e-filing, civil case e-filing and the posting of electronic court documents from the CSI CMS to Doxpop.

The CSI, Doxpop and Proslink partnership has already brought to Hoosier courts and the users of this information a proven and effective statewide and worldwide CMS.

The Indiana Supreme Court who plans to spend nearly $100 million taxpayer dollars is offering courts a CMS system that forces a court to transact, store and retrieve court information including confidential juvenile, mental health, adoption, personal information over the internet and this confidential information will be housed under the Indiana Supreme Court’s control and view.

With the Indiana Supreme Court housing all this historical court and personal information, does this move this state towards the European inquisitorial system versus our American adversarial system?

Internet hacker intrusion or shutdown, insufficient internet bandwidth, electronic document management over the internet, central system shutdown, security of confidential information, who has access to all of this confidential information, loss of local control, lack of competitive influences to advance technical enhancements and motivated support, are just a few of the critical issues involved in the Indiana Supreme Court’s risky, costly and unnecessary centralized internet takeover.

In contrast to the risky and costly Indiana Supreme Court internet system, CSI has provided and will continue to offer Hoosier counties an alternative to the Indiana Supreme Court’s risky, costly and unnecessary internet system that has failed once already.

CSI is dedicated to all Hoosier counties who want to have local control over their confidential information, share public information worldwide, implement efficient e-filing statewide and receive motivated support from a motivated Hoosier software company.

Hopefully local counties will be able to have choice and funding (give counties a portion of the $10 million per year that counties collect and send to the State which is funding the Indiana Supreme Court’s system) to implement a system that provide local courts control on how they want to manage, secure and share their court information.
