Below is the Okaloosa County SmartBench BA and Description. Please let me know when it has been
submitted and the date of the BOCC meeting. Thanks.
Court Administration is requesting funds from the Court Technology Reserve Fund to upgrade its
network, storage, and IT Systems Analyst position to support the judge’s new paperless file system.
The State of Florida has purchased the software, servers, installation, and training to implement a
paperless court process in Okaloosa County. The software, aiSmartBench, allows the judges to view
and manage their court files electronically. Judges will be able to electronically review and search
cases, transmit documents to the clerk, work remotely, and digitally sign orders. All of these
electronic enhancements will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Okaloosa County court
system. The additional reserve funds are needed to upgrade the court’s storage capacity and
network speed as well as their IT support position to handle the increased technical responsibilities
this new paperless court system will generate.
