Connecting to the State Bar Association
 
JCalendar provides full access to all information to all bar members throughout the State, through its custom integrated system. This provides a one login solution for the entire State. The system uses the State Bar as the login authority. This eliminates a need for duplicate registration databases, in different areas throughout the state. It can extend its secure login capabilities and authentication procedures, to court technology staff,  for third party application integration and authentication. Providing the conduit to all authentication throughout the state.
 
Full Judicial Workflow Management
JCalendar was designed from the Judge and the courthouse staff's perspective. It was designed to enable the management of cases, events, and resources with the courtroom workflow as its primary objective. Unlike most "Case Management" systems, which are heavily geared to the Clerk of the Court's workflow, JCalendar provides a new perspective to the "Workflow Management", where the Judge and court staff are the focal point.
 
Automated Customizable Remote Scheduling
JCalendar has been used for scheduling and managing events since 2003 and has become a proven judicial scheduling system in the State of Florida. The core technology provides the Court with the ability to post and manage availability of its resources (Judges, Courtrooms, etc.) in a secure environment to all or specified external stakeholders on the system (i.e. attorneys, legal professionals, court reporters, etc.). Each Judge or Judges Assistant can customize the rules that are followed when a stakeholder schedules on a specific docket ( i.e. "Allow Online Cancellations", "Requiring Document Upload", etc.). This has proven to assist in a reduction of over 40% of all phone calls made, directly to the judge's office, by the legal community. This in turn, greatly increases court staff's productivity and availablity to manage and accomplish more demanding tasks from day to day.
Complete Document Submission and Management Capabilities
 JCourier provides a robust add-on to the JCalendar management product by enabling the attorneys and other stakeholders to submit documents and other media, to the Court, through the same portal they use to schedule. A user can submit a document while scheduling a hearing, like a Notice and Motion, or attach a document directly to the case before or after the scheduling process.

JCourier indexes and tags all media submitted with the user information, date, time, and case indexing for a secure document filing environment and for easy access by the Judge and other support staff.
**This is a completely secure model as the system uses only one authority (State Bar Association) to validate the attorney login and tagging of the media uploaded.
 
Lobby Screen Output
JCast is a lightweight inexpensive casting solution, which integrates directly into the JCalendar Scheduling and Events System. It provides the Court with the ability to post dynamic schedules to specific screens in the lobby without any additional IT personnel interaction. It pulls the information directly from JCalendar, where most of the scheduling is done by Court staff and attorneys. JCast helps to organize and manage high traffic areas of the Court and also provides the ability to cast informational and educational video and audio.
   
Comprehensive Legacy System Integration
 
Softworks provides full integration to all legacy data systems. If there are other systems being used to manage cases, we can integrate with that information store, so no redundant data entry is required. on a broader level, JCalendar has become the "glue" to pulling many existing technologies into a comprehensive easy to use interface for the Judge and other court personnel. This includes digital court reporting systems, video conferencing units, and other disparate technologies. Making these, otherwise difficult to use systems a practicality.
   
Complete Microsoft Word Integration
 
SmartDocs uses the JCalendar infrastructure to provide document population and submittal capabilities to court staff and the legal community. A user can create a document and attach the JCalendar data elements, to it, for quick document creation and population. SmartDocs "plugs" directly into Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007.
   
Complete Microsoft Outlook Integration
 
The JCalendar OA, plugs directly into Outlook, allowing the user to continue to use Outlook as their primary communications console, but adds all of the JCalendar scheduling and resource management. This adds all of the judiciary specific data-elements missing from the common Outlook interface
   
Complete Microsoft InfoPath Integration
 
JCalendar can import customized InfoPath forms into its scheduling and workflow in for customized data collection. i.e. A Judge can require specific custom information to be filled out prior to scheduling a hearing.
   
Open Technology Standards
JCalendar and its ancillary products are written in Microsoft .Net Technologies and provide XML based web-service access to Court IT staff and authorized third-party vendors.
Additionally we provide a developers toolkit, which allows the Court's IT staff to reuse JCalendar GUI components in their custom applications.
