Centralized Password & Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization faces high-urgency compliance mandates requiring centralized password management and a formalized information security plan, including vulnerability management. Aging IT infrastructure and an understaffed IT team compound exposure, increasing the risk of breach, audit findings, and disruption to court operations.
The opportunity
A $2.9M exceptional funding request for FY 2028-29 signals committed budget, and two active grants—including one targeting cybersecurity improvements for state court systems—support near-term action. A new technology leadership transition creates a timely window to advance modernization aligned with compliance mandates and fiscal planning cycles.

High Priority
About this project
Aging servers and an understaffed IT team have created centralized oversight gaps and elevated operational risk across the organization's endpoint environment. A $2.9M exceptional funding request for FY 2028–29 signals urgency to modernize IT support, network infrastructure, and legacy systems before risk exposure compounds.
The opportunity
Active grant programs targeting court system IT and cybersecurity improvements, combined with an established cooperative purchasing path, reduce procurement friction and local funding burden. With new IT leadership driving modernization priorities, the upcoming fiscal cycle presents a well-aligned window to advance infrastructure investment and strengthen operational continuity.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate carries a hard deadline of April 26, 2027, requiring accessible public-facing web properties and document workflows. The document-intensive nature of appellate case management and statewide e-filing platforms amplifies scope and compliance exposure across court operations.
The opportunity
The 2027 federal deadline creates non-negotiable urgency, and funded modernization initiatives for appellate case management and e-filing expand both project scope and available budget. State cooperative purchasing programs provide a streamlined, compliant procurement path to act within the current planning cycle.

Court Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The state court administration is actively planning procurement to replace its legacy Appellate Case Management System, with $11.9M in unexpended-balance authority already identified. The existing system is tightly integrated with document management and electronic filing, making this a broad, multi-system modernization effort with significant operational continuity risk if not addressed.
The opportunity
Funding is confirmed and the procurement cycle is active, creating a near-term window to advance modernization aligned with web accessibility compliance deadlines and digital workflow requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces transition risk and supports statewide court operations, electronic filing continuity, and public access to justice.

Discuss this project →Public Safety Report System Contract Transition
Court Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The existing Public Safety Report System contract expires August 31, 2026, with no confirmed successor system in place. This gap poses direct risk to court reporting continuity and service delivery if transition planning is not completed before the contract lapses.
The opportunity
The hard expiration date creates an immediate, non-negotiable planning window, and a newly onboarded CIO presents a timely opportunity to align system priorities. Federal justice technology grants and cooperative purchasing programs may offset transition costs and accelerate procurement.

Discuss this project →Court Emergency Preparedness and Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
OCA's emergency preparedness relies on an outdated 2008 Interim Plan with no current agency-specific EOP, and its existing court notification system lacks general mass-notification capability. Recent court closures from natural disasters and security threats have exposed critical coordination and communication gaps affecting court operations and public access to justice.
The opportunity
A new CIO mandate and active justice-sector grant programs create a timely window to address preparedness gaps before the next incident forces a reactive response. Formalizing an EOP and mass-notification capability now reduces operational risk, supports continuity of court services, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
