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.
