The Virtual Hearing offering utilizes the latest collaboration and communication technology from the Teams platform, part of the Microsoft O365 product family.
The virtual court hearings with Microsoft Teams, zoom and other platforms faced rise during the covid pandemic. With the new virus variants and the ongoing pandemic situation, courts expanded the use of virtual court hearing solutions for more types of cases and even started considering them as a long-term practice.
Our previous blog post raised important questions such as what are the risk factors behind eJustice projects? Naturally, the next question that comes is: “Which are the success factors for e-Justice systems”? How do we employ the risk factors into strategy that will deliver a successful e-Justice transformation?
We’re often being asked the following question: on what depends the successful transformation from traditional paper-based court case management system to e-Justice? Is there a path that guarantees a positive digital justice impact? If so, what’s the path that leads to negative effect and therefore should be avoided?
