GloucestershireConstabulary is
deploying a new criminal justice system to help improve
efficiency.
The force has chosen the Unifi system from
SunGard Vivista as
part of an upgrade to its previous
SunGard system.
The Unifi system will bring the force up to date with the latest
standards and technologies in the field and will be supported by a
five-year support contract.
Unifi is a suite of integrated modules within a single
application covering an array of police business processes, from
crime, custody and case preparation through to the management of
driving document productions, vehicle defect rectifications and
road traffic collisions.
The system also collects intelligence derived from these
activities and from other sources.
Built upon a single database, the application requires no
interfacing between its own modules, which streamlines the solution
and helps ensure uncomplicated support and easy maintenance.
All recorded data can be shared between modules without the need
for multiple data entry, thus helping to make it more user-friendly
and less time-consuming.
Gloucestershire Constabulary assistant chief constable, Mick
Matthews, said, "We have successfully used SunGard's Unity system
for the past ten years in support of operational policing
functions.
"It has proved to be a robust and reliable system and we now
look forward to using UNIFI, with its enhanced functionality and
updated technology, in support of providing more effective and
efficient services."
