CMI Authority^® Court Application to be implemented by

The Sidney, Ohio Municipal Court

Court to benefit from increased technology usage in the courtroom

Englewood, OH - Sidney, Ohio Municipal Court has announced its decision to install the CMI Authority^® Court software application this Spring. The Court evaluated software options and it was apparent that the solution from Creative Microsystems, Inc. (CMI) was the most appropriate choice for the Court's future technology needs. The Court, which has been using CMI Court software for over 15 years, will be upgrading its existing technology to take advantage of the enhanced features now available with CMI's latest version. The Authority^® Court system, which operates within a user friendly Windows^® environment, promises to improve court efficiencies through a variety of time-saving and labor saving operations. The Court will implement the new solution on a new Dell Server running Microsoft Windows 2003 with Microsoft SQL Server Database engine.

"CMI is excited about Sidney Municipal Court being the most recent court to come on board for CMI Authority Court applications", commented Jim Hodges, CMI's CEO. It was important for CMI to understand the Court's technology needs within the actual courtroom, and through our evaluations, we were able to understand exactly how technology could benefit the courtroom proceedings. The new system will allow the Court to eliminate duplicate entry of data and instantaneously provide courtroom data to the clerk's office for processing.”
