Dedham, Mass., January 26, 2009 — Metatomix, Inc., a leading provider of semantic solutions to justice and public safety, manufacturing, financial services and life sciences organizations, today announced that the City of Albany and Dougherty County, located southwest of Atlanta, Georgia, is implementing its Judicial Data Exchange (JDX), Judicial Inquiry System (JIS) and Judicial First Appearance (JFA) applications as the foundation of the County’s Criminal Justice Information Sharing project.
Dougherty County, with a population of approximately 100,000, will begin integrating phase one of the project immediately and expects all phases to be complete in less than three years. The project will allow nearly 30 local law enforcement agencies and courts to share pertinent information seamlessly by simplifying current processes, facilitating data movement and governing data access. As a result, the county expects to systematically improve the operational efficiency of the existing criminal justice systems by streamlining information and data entry.
“Metatomix stands head and shoulders above the other technologies that we considered,” said John Antoniewicz, Information Technology Director for the City of Albany and Dougherty County. “We’ve heard from several agencies in Georgia that have implemented Metatomix’s technology and they are all very pleased with the results. The company has no doubt set the standard in Georgia for data integration technology.”
“We are delighted for the opportunity to partner with the City of Albany and Dougherty County, who are committed to providing efficient, cost-effective justice data sharing solutions,” said Metatomix President and CEO Jeff Dickerson. “Metatomix offers an ideal framework to address the complex challenges of comprehensive judicial data management for forward-looking institutions like Dougherty County.”
Metatomix has chosen DOBBS, RAM & Company (DRC) to integrate Metatomix’s technology in Dougherty County with its current criminal justice infrastructure to maximize justice data sharing. DRC, headquartered in Atlanta, is a minority systems integrator specializing in criminal justice information systems implementation, project management, programming and business continuity development. DRC, recently added to Metatomix’s partner program at the silver level, maintains both Justice Information Exchange Model (JIEM) and National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) certifications and is now authorized to market and sell Metatomix’s solutions.
Metatomix’s JDX enables real-time, bi-directional, cross-agency information sharing without forcing local agencies to lose control of their data. The JIS solution is used by both law enforcement agencies and courts to collect criminal and civil history, and property, vehicle, warrant and incident reports across local, state and national systems from a single interface.
Metatomix’s JFA application provides complete and accurate information to law enforcement booking agents regarding the criminal and civil history of suspects both at the time of booking and later during trial. JFA automatically pushes this information to a dashboard that acts as a judge’s calendaring system, ensuring the judge receives crucial and timely notification of a suspect’s criminal history or status as a potential sexual offender.
