- It is the first contract of the IT company in the judicial sector in a non-Latin American country

Indra, the premier IT company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe, was awarded by the Philippines’ Supreme Court, the country’s highest court also vested with the judiciary, the design and development of the management model and systems to modernise Justice Administration. It is the company’s first international contract in this sector with a non-Latin American country.
The $1M Project that is to be concluded in a year is within the framework of an agreement between this institution and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to finance a programme oriented to reformation and automation of Justice in the Philippines.
The start up of the project will remarkably speed up case resolutions as well as entry, management and access to files, increase security and control of information and facilitate definition of quality indicators. All the above will render reality-awareness and effectiveness in every court across the country.
The works include studying the needs of the Judiciary in the ICT sector, the development and implementation of a system programme which identifies the required resources for its startup and the implementation of a modernisation programme in the Information systems Management Office of the Supreme Court, which is responsible for the development of the Judiciary’s information technologies and communications.
Besides the design of the systems for this sector, Indra will also implement a pilot in one of the 13 administrative judicial regions in Philippines. This pilot includes applications that will provide independent support to other processes of the sector such as; human resources management, finances, administration and so on, for further extension to the rest of the regions.
Experience export
The contract with Philippines’s Supreme Court will allow exportation of the company’s experience acquired in the sector of modernisation of the judicial systems in Spain and Latin America to Asia.
The digitalisation of Spain’s civil registries, the implementation and maintenance of the systems for the Ministry of Justice or the implementation of The Judiciary Council’s extranet for judges and magistrates are some of the most outstanding projects by the IT company in Spain. There are also the information systems that support decision-making for the Basque country’s Supreme Court, applications of proceeding management by the Justice Administration of Madrid or the computarization of the Generalitat Valenciana or the Andalusian Government’s justice offices.
At international levels, it is worth mentioning the system for criminalistics information (SICRIM) for Portugal’s Ministry of Justice, the implementation of the organization model and management system for Venezuela’s courts, the design of the model of judicial dispatch and implementation of proceeding management in Nicaragua’s Supreme Court or the computerisation of the land jurisdiction’s offices and courts for the Dominican Republic’s Supreme Court.
