JCalendar Product Information

 

Softworks has designed a fully integrated solution for legal applications that reduce duplication and encourage convergence through multi-agency partnerships when applicable. Our products bring together numerous composite applications that can efficiently redefine the legal case and matter management workflow, increasing operational efficiencies, maximizing resource utilization, and decreasing overall cost of ownership.  Softworks provides this .NET case and matter management along with a proven e-filing solution to the local and State judicial and legal communities.  Softworks offers integrated control and access to ancillary technologies like digital court reporting and transcription, video conferencing systems, video and audio recording solutions, document management solutions, and virtually all electronic data storage systems.
JCalendar is designed to be used from within its Web 2.0 interface, supporting most popular browsers like Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Opra as well as the Microsoft Office product line. The case management and scheduling interfaces are accessible using the robust web interface of Microsoft Office 2007/2010. This provides the user with the flexibility to utilize JCalendar in most information management scenarios.

Integration is the Solution

Softworks’ concept is to provide integrated judicial and legal solutions that create cost savings for the government agency and allow it to better utilize existing funds.  It encompasses a comprehensive Case/Matter and Scheduling Workflow System accessible through a full featured web 2.0 interface as well as by using Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and InfoPath.

 

Document Filing and Management System

JCalendar provides additional integrated components to create, submit, and manage documents as part of the case workflow process. The web interface provides full word processor capabilities for accessing custom document templates as well as creating new documents pertaining to a case.  Once a document template is published to JCalendar, many common fields can be populated automatically from its connected data sources (i.e. Case Style, Participants, etc.). This considerably reduces the times it takes to create and publish standard documents as part of the legal process. Softworks also provides a Microsoft Word add-in (JDocs®) as part of its comprehensive case workflow system offering. This application enables any “JCalendar Authenticated” Microsoft Word user, with access to essential case and workflow data, which can be used within any document. This allows these users to create, file, manage, and share Word documents, throughout the workflow process, while always staying connected to the most up-to-date case data while never leaving Microsoft Word. This greatly reduces the time and errors that occur from redundant data entry and document copying and recreation.
