- Initially ~4K users would share information from within the Scottish Legal System
- Expected growth to approx. 10K the end of 5 years roll out
- Evidence remains to be disparate and not easily or readily available to the right user at the right time, increasing inconvenience and frustration
- Increasing staff costs involved in capture, transport, viewing, conversion, time-line building and evidence preparation current evidence. This, on top of actual costs of the devices to transport, view, collate and submit
-Demand and reliance on digital evidence places an increasing and greater need for efficient processes and tools to collate, manage, disseminate and store content
- Increasing complexity as multiple, partner specific solutions and processes will be introduced to the Justice system (e.g., version control) and technology (e.g., interoperability of systems)
- What would be the new standards for information sharing across criminal justice?
- What is the current process for the preparation and distribution of evidence (digital and analogue) and what does it cost?
- What would be the targeted efficiency savings within the relevant justice organisations?
- What would be the increase in early pleas as a result of having early sight / access to digital evidence?
- Increase understanding of transaction volumes (cases and types of evidence) to inform platform decision and how it will be scaled horizontally and vertically
- What would be the impact of dual running a centralised information sharing capability?
- What would be the impact to citizens? I.e. Would witnesses save time recording their statements?
