PowerCase Wins Ontario Award
PowerCase Solution Helps Win Ministry Diamond Award
Ontario, Canada, September 11, 2002 — On September
11th 2002, the Ontario Major Case Management System, which
was implemented by the Campbell Implementation Project, was
awarded the Diamond Award of Excellence for "Serving
Ontario's Citizens Better."
In February 2002, Xanalys successfully completed the implementation
stage of the largest case management system implementation
in the world to date, as part of the Campbell Implementation
Project. The Campbell Implementation Project is a collaboration
between the Police Services of Ontario and the Government
of Ontario Ministry of Public Safety and Security. Xanalys'
PowerCase case management software will be rolled out to 65
services, covering an area of over 1 million square kilometres.
PowerCase enables all Ontario law enforcement agencies investigating
major and predator crime to access and search every available
database for relevant information and to share this information
simultaneously across the entire province and across several
concurrent cases. Even during the piloting phase, the use
of PowerCase was credited with the successful outcome of a
number of criminal cases in the Toronto region - notably the
Bedroom Rapist case.
The annual Showcase Ontario Awards of Excellence have been
established to honor excellence in information technology
within the Ontario Government, its agencies, boards and commissions,
as well as the broader public sector.
Showcase Ontario appointed an expert selection panel comprising
knowledgeable and objective Ontario leaders to review the
applications against the selection criteria. The judging criteria
included: measurable enhancement of quality and excellence
in service for the benefit of Ontario's citizens; cost and
time savings and efficiency improvements; improved organizational
effectiveness; and customer satisfaction.
Thanking Xanalys for their contribution to the case management
system Project Director W. M. (Bill) Van Allen, A/D/Supt said:
"The Showcase Ontario award was a long time in the making
and would not have happened were it not also for your tireless
efforts and those of your staff, in support of the Campbell
Report Implementation Projects."
Richard Mills, Product Manager for PowerCase said, "PowerCase
represents the very best of what technology can offer the
investigation management team to produce consistently positive
outcomes - the day of happenstance investigation should be
over."
Background for Award
After a series of murders committed by Paul Bernardo and Karla
Homolka the Bernardo Investigation Review undertaken by the
Honourable Mr. Justice Archie Campbell emphasised the need
for a major case management system to facilitate police investigation
of such cases. The Major Case Management Committee was mandated
to define and develop a detailed plan for the implementation
of a case management system and to determine the functional
requirements of enabling technology including software application.
The contract to deliver such a system was awarded to Xanalys.
