PlanGraphics reaches milestones in San Francisco project
FRANKFORT, Ky., March 31, 2008—PlanGraphics, Inc. (PK: PGRA) has reached two important goals in the Justice Tracking Information System (JUSTIS) project for the City and County of San Francisco’s Department of Telecommunications and Information Services (DTIS).
The focus of the project is on system architecture, development, and implementation services to provide data sharing among San Francisco’s criminal justice systems. Conceptually, the result will be a data “hub” with multiple “spokes” connecting the different systems and agencies. The I-hub architecture also addresses the need to maintain continuity of use of the legacy mainframe in the interim.
The goals are 1) the completion and testing of the core “hub” in February, and 2) the March completion of the first “spoke,” which connects the sheriff’s jail management system (JMS) into the hub.
Walt Calcagno, DTIS IT Manager, told the JUSTIS Council Meeting Feb. 21 “Congratulations to [DTIS Project Manager] Rob Castiglia and his team composed of DTIS staff and PlanGraphics, Inc. developers.”
The team will bring
other City agencies/departments into the hub as they become ready using
an iterative spiral design and implementation procedure. The team is currently
developing use cases and specifications for the “spokes” associated
with working in parallel with the District Attorney, Public Defender and
Adult and Juvenile Probation organizations.
