of Justice: Skip the computer returns to the paper

The ministry funds and reduces the firm providing the service package.
Heavy consequences offices and citizens. The ministry cut funding and service information to the Court and Prosecutor's Office gives Belluno package. The collaboration between the company and Abacus Law Courts will not extend beyond February 28 next year. And the consequences that lie ahead will lead to a series of disruptions that can be glimpsed already. The communication of the impending termination, after ten years since its inception, has received a few days ago in a letter to the President of the Court and the chief prosecutor. The issue is easily explained. It should be said that since 2003 the company had agreed to provide IT support services under the acknowledgment of debt, waiting for the momentary state of difficulty Finance ministry had passed the retrieval of adequate means have failed in the meantime. Vain hope. The Chronic 2006, the financial situation. Better yet say - said the head of the company that operates within the palace of justice - that has made it even worse by making a 50 percent cut in appropriations for the computer that already inadequate, had resulted in the previous year need to establish supply relationships with companies outside the canons of correctness and regularity of trade. Translated into figures and allow a better focus of the problem national in scope, this means that last year had been allocated 80 million euro for assistance. This year is halved. The painting shows the ten companies that operate throughout Italy, it appeared all the more dramatic the time it was learned that the current availability of funds from the Ministry for 2006 may cover only 5 percent of annual needs. At this point it was possible any more credit. The fact is that without information un'assitenza the courts, in Belluno, as is happening a bit 'all over the world, risk being stopped. The stakes are high. The General Ledger can go to meet the total block of business registration, search and update records of criminal prosecutors and courts. "For now - says the head of Abaco in the Court of Belluno - are without computer assistance to the Justice of the Peace and a branch of Pieve di Cadore. This means that the first issue under investigation can not proceed. And given that we execute a score of operations per day you can well imagine that will happen. " One thing is inevitable: it will print the computer records. It then returns the paper to compensate for the lack of support. Neither need to unleash too much imagination to imagine what will happen, for example, when searching for a certificate of criminal record. And to leave you will be penalized. The deputy chief of the prosecutor, Hans Griguolo, goes even to the bone, "There is real risk that the issuing of a certificate of pending suit may leave a false data. " In short, a disaster waiting to happen.

Justice without computer assistance
The ministry does not pay, Ltd blocks everything. Features at risk by the end of February

BELLUNO. Courthouse without computer assistance by February 28: There is no more money, the agencies that assist millionaires boast credits with the state, and the Abaco Verona spades responded to the ministry asking for a credit opened for 2006. For now, if you break a PC or a server is not working in the offices of Justices of the Peace or a branch in Pieve, one is on foot. Justice may also paralysis in Belluno: just anything, and you need computer assistance. Remember that there are at least twenty per day charged to operations only two computer technicians in the data processing center of the Palace. Of paper there was little, when, in 1997, was introduced computer science in court (he left the then district attorney with the prosecutor Gianni Griguolo). So, without assistance, the first area at risk is to the General Ledger, which can meet the total block of business registration in case of any inconvenience. Then the updating of the archives of criminal prosecution and court, which means that for a certificate from criminal prosecution, there may be problems in case of unexpected breakdowns or bottlenecks in the system or a server and so on. One fifth of the service, in fact, the Abaco Verona has already cut a few days: in fact computer assistance is no longer in the offices of Justice of the Peace or the branch of Pieve di Cadore. From February 28th stop of the service will cover all offices of the courthouse Belluno. A kind of assistance "ministerial" would nevertheless be provided by CISIA, but only for emergencies ("And in 10 years have never seen 'explain the Palace of Justice in Belluno). But how did it come to this? The Abaco (which support IT around the Triveneto) also wrote to the Public Prosecutor and the President of the Court of Belluno: the letter of early February about a situation gangrenous. "Since 2003, as well as other companies in our industry, we have received with a sense of responsibility to the request of some CISIA to provide IT support services under the acknowledgment of debt, waiting for the momentary state of difficulty of the finance ministry had passed through Reconstruction of adequate financial means in the meantime had failed, "reads the letter. Recently the ministry has called to report that all companies providing the service in Italy, asking if they wanted to continue the work continuing earning the credit companies have said no. Moreover, the only Abaco has a claim of three million euro has never received. Second, there was a further cut in funding from the ministry in 2005 had been allocated a total of 80 million € for computer support in the court (and have spent 120 million) for 2006 c ' was cut by 60 percent with an overall budget of € 46 million. A situation that Abaco complaint as "out of control" and with "regret" that announces to the Prosecutor and the President of the court "in the absence of concrete and immediate measures, our company will be unable to deliver the service sevrizio beyond the end of this month (February). Strikes are already in place in some courts, the protest mounts also among employees of companies that suffer cascading cuts in salaries or non-confirmation of fixed-term contracts and so on. The mobilization instead mounts on the Internet where they were born also forums and blogs of experts, both to express discontent about the state, which worries about the future. In any judicial office, to avoid problems caused by blockages or black out the servers, it was decided to print archives now digitized. A forced return to the 'archeology' paper? In Belluno should print documents from 1996 ...

problems of suppliers not paid assistance to computer
Interview with the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Abaco srl

The company that provides service to the barracks Mastiff threat blocking, the Court of Verona, total paralysis risk , the total blackout of all judicial activities computerized, in practice almost all the records, the request for information about a citizen subject to the proceedings, the minutes, interviews with the judgments. The drastic cut in funding made by the Ministry of Justice, which has reduced the allocation of funds for computer support from 81 million in 2005 to little more than 40 2006, has led to the company responsible for it impossible to continue. A striking gesture, which has an additional implication of Verona, as the company that has contracted IT support of all courts of the Triveneto, including Verona, the Abaco alley San Bernardino, 6, Verona. The Chairman of the Board, Carlo Zamboni, in a letter dated Feb. 2 announced that the Ministry of Justice which, in view of the situation created, if not intervene news, from February 28 (date of expiry of the contract) can not continue service. And the news may be only one, that the minister Roberto Castelli unlock the situation and find the money to pay the debts of the assistance, at national level of several tens of millions and that only for Abaco than three: "A huge amount of money for our company," he admits worried Carlo Zamboni , "an economic edge in terms of technology, sound from a financial standpoint and closed budgets always useful." A model reality well, those who made the great Northeast, and that instead she finds herself with a strong banking exposure, only because the ministry does not pay bills by more than one year: "While the company have 100 every month to pay salaries "pursued the president," and I certainly can not leave my colleagues at the green on the grounds that the ministry does not pay. But we were not in possession of unlimited resources, I invested in a life of work, me and my children. " The situation is very delicate in short, on the one hand, the city court is likely to drastically reduce its activity (17 January last year the ministry sent a directive that effectively cut 85 percent of technical assistance), on the other a healthy society, cutting edge, with good balance sheets are likely to see compromised his leadership in the field. "We are confident that, despite a general climate of hardship," concludes Zamboni, "the Ministry be able to find funds to protect the business of the courts and save the jobs of our companies. " Time is running out, however, you enter into the February 11 election and until the new government will see no more of a euro.

JUDICIAL OFFICES AT RISK OF "STOP ALL"

Venice without a real computer assistance, the courts of Venice, like the rest of Italy, stop. To understand it in Rome, which has cut funds dedicated to this voice, the President of the Court lagoon, Attilio Passannante, and the chief prosecutor, Vittorio Borraccetti, have drafted a list of all the "poor service" coming, "which could result from malfunction or, worse still, by the sudden unexpected arrests of computer programs now used full-time." An appeal by extreme left as well as the Ministry of Justice, including the CSM, the Court of Appeal, the Attorney General, the CISIA of Padua, the body that deals with information technology for justice. Then, from March 1, Rome will provide only emergency operations, however, confined to a limited number of cases, which should occupy the very CISIA, but is in Padua, and he has no computer expert on staff capable of working on the software. The Abaco, however, has a dozen or so technical, only for offices courts of Venice, which involved all the time on the computers of courthouses to ensure the efficiency of the system. A mess, in short, that is bothering the courts of the peninsula. Everyone hopes that the Government find the financial resources necessary to continue the existing service, the hypothesis put forward by the other day that Secretary Mantovano in response to an interpellation in the House. But there are a lot of money. Only the Abacus, which provides assistance to the courts in the Northeast, has accumulated debts by the state for about 3 million euro. Meanwhile, Passannante Borraccetti and wrote to the ministry to outsource all of their "concern about the regular activities of the Office of Court and Prosecution. " Without ongoing support, would occur "malfunctions Night" and "Ordinary Day." Among the sectors most at risk, the General Ledger, which can meet the "total block of business registration, search and update the files of prosecutors and criminal court."
