Court computer system scrapped
Fort Wayne’s Journal Gazette carries a story by the Associated Press headlined, “State ends contract for software system.”
State officials have terminated a software company’s contract to establish a computer network tying together courts in all 92 Indiana counties.
The decision to end the work by Computer Associates International came after court staffers found its software was unable to track the status and outcome of criminal and civil cases throughout about 400 courts around the state.
As part of the termination, Computer Associates agreed to refund $1 million, $1 million more than it had been paid by the state, said Mary DePrez, who oversees the project for the Indiana Supreme Court’s Judicial Technology and Automation Committee.
Meanwhile Newsday has a story titled, “CA, Indiana scrap court computer plan.”
