NICE and Karpel Solutions Partner to Digitally Transform Criminal Justice for Prosecutors

Integration of case and digital evidence management systems consolidates digital evidence into a single pane of glass to streamline the justice process

NICE (NASDAQ:NICE) and Karpel Solutions (St. Louis, MO) today announced a technology partnership to digitally transform the criminal justice process for prosecutors. With digital evidence continuing to grow exponentially, managing evidence in different systems is adding to the manual workload for prosecutors. The integration of the NICE Justice digital evidence management solution and PROSECUTORByKarpel (PbK) case management software (CMS) will create new-found efficiencies for prosecutors by automating the ingestion, organization and correlation of evidence into digital case files in the cloud, while also consolidating all evidence into a single pane of glass.

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said, "As a leading company in open solutions for criminal justice digital transformation, we're excited to join forces with Karpel Solutions to address challenges around growing digital evidence. Our partnership will create improved workflows and efficiencies for prosecutors, by allowing them to review complete evidence, connected together in one place, so they can get to the truth faster."

LeeAnn Karpel, President of Karpel Solutions, said, "As a company serving the U.S. judicial system for 30 years, we're excited to partner with NICE to enhance prosecutors' efficiency and justice outcomes by enhancing PbK's media capabilities with NICE's robust digital evidence management. As an additional benefit to our mutual customers, there will be no additional API charge for prosecutors' offices to take advantage of the integration."

The PROSECUTORByKarpel (PbK) Case Management Software (CMS) helps prosecutors get more done in less time, by providing enhanced capabilities focused on document management and generation, workflow management, electronic docketing and courtroom calendar management. As a leading digital evidence management solution, NICE Justice digitally transforms how prosecutors' offices manage discovery, receive and share digital evidence, and create their work product. Freed from dealing with discs, drives, emails, and logging into multiple systems to manage and prepare evidence, attorneys and staff can focus on building and presenting compelling cases.

The integration of NICE Justice and PbK will automate manual processes associated with managing digital evidence, so prosecutors can spend more time pursuing justice and prosecuting cases. The integrated solution also consolidates and synchronizes digital evidence and data across both systems bi-directionally in real-time, ensuring that complete evidence is always accessible, no matter what system prosecutors choose to work in.

How the NICE Justice – PROSECUTORByKarpel Integration Works

The NICE-Karpel integration automatically brings all types of evidence prosecutors rely on to prosecute cases together, eliminating the need to manually download/upload or scan evidence from system to system, and search across different systems to find relevant evidence. The integrated solution also puts an end to the need to manually create and number case folders, upload evidence into folders, and tag each evidence item with metadata.

The process begins when a user clicks on the initiate case button in the PbK system to create a new case, which is then assigned to a prosecutor. This action automatically generates a corresponding case folder in NICE Justice (with the same case identifier). As evidence comes in from law enforcement it is automatically deposited into the correct NICE Justice case folder, along with any documents attached to the PbK case file. NICE Justice also auto assigns prosecutor access rights to digital case folders, based on linked information in PbK. If case assignments ever change in PbK, this information is automatically updated across both systems, ensuring the newly assigned prosecutor can seamlessly pick up where the former one left off.

Prosecutors' offices that invest in the integrated solution can also benefit from NICE Justice's built-in AI and automation capabilities for managing digital evidence that include automated case building, face/object detection, video and audio transcription and translation, optical character recognition (OCR), analytics, and finding evidence connections. As all evidence items are now automatically appended with accurate metadata, the integrated solution can now also leverage NICE Justice's analytics for intelligent searching, or to find connected information and make evidence recommendations, even across cases.
