The Alberta Case Study

Alberta Justice and Solicitor General replaced their paper-based system with the OpenText Content Suite Platform. This change saved time and cut costs through faster, automatic e-filing. It also made evidentiary files easier to access, thereby improving the efficiency of case and bail decisions.

Before this system, it was easy to make mistakes when sharing evidence. Paper files caused problems that took a considerable amount of time and incurred significant costs.

Various provincial prosecutors and defense attorneys would utilize OpenText for electronic document management.

The platform streamlined paperwork, enabling prosecutors to be more flexible. Defense lawyers can now access files as needed, which reduces the need for trips and delays, making the process faster and fairer.

FAQ

Portal XL replaces outdated terminal emulators with modern web interface. Instead of memorizing command-line syntax, officers use intuitive forms for NCIC queries. Browser-based access eliminates local client software installation and IT maintenance. Results appear in readable format rather than coded text strings. Cloud hosting means automatic updates without system downtime or manual patches.

Yes. Portal XL supports unlimited concurrent users across your agency. Cloud architecture scales automatically to handle peak query volumes during shift changes or major incidents. Each officer maintains independent session with personalized query history and message inbox. No performance degradation occurs during high-volume operations.

Portal XL integrates with most Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) through API connections. Integration enables automatic query population from CAD incident screens and direct result transfer to RMS case files. Contact PsPortals technical team to verify compatibility with your specific CAD/RMS vendor and configuration.
Most officers become proficient within 30-60 minutes of hands-on practice. Portal XL uses familiar web interface similar to consumer applications. PsPortals provides video tutorials, quick reference guides, and live training sessions. Officers with NCIC/NLETS experience transition easily. New users learn basic queries within first shift.
Portal XL requires active internet connection for real-time database queries. If connectivity drops temporarily, the system maintains session state and automatically reconnects when service restores. Officers resume work without re-logging in. For areas with persistent connectivity issues, agencies can implement mobile hotspots or vehicle-based internet solutions to maintain field access.
