I work in county government IT in Ohio, and the $50K number, per county court, seems like a reasonable estimate. I don't know anything about Pennaylvania, but in Ohio each court (of which there could be multiple in each county-- a court of Common Pleas, a Juvenile Court, and one or more Municipal courts) would each have their own disparate court management systems. In my county there are currently 3 different systems covering 3 courts. Each one would need its own integration.
A few years ago the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio undertook a multi-year data warehouse project to build a centralized reference database for all state courts. I assisted the vendor in our County and easily had a significant fraction of that $50K in my labor over a period of a couple of years.
- ilovetux 7y agoPennsylvania has a similar structure as far as the different types of courts, but they have had their Unified Judicial System [0] for quite some time now. It's actually quite usable (once you know where the links you need are) and really ties together all the different courts and provides a web portal [1] where most things one would need to do (except actual court appearances) can be done pretty quickly.
