• Digital Evidence Management (DEM) - a cloud-based SaaS solution to manage, store and share multimedia evidentiary files, ensuring secure, anytime/anywhere access across the justice sector by justice partners and stakeholders
• Digital Disclosure and Hearing Hub (D2H2) - an online cloud-based solution enabling both secure electronic document and evidence sharing during virtual court hearings
• Criminal Courts Case Management Systems and Portal (New ICON) – modernization of the existing mainframe-based criminal case management system (ICON) and tools available to the Courts to enhance and improve data-sharing
• Integration – an integration platform for secure exchange of data and documents between justice sector partners, delivering anytime/anywhere access to criminal matters between various systems
