Issue details

The Business Case outlines that the current domino-based systems (4 in total) not only need to be decommissioned for several technical architectural reasons, but they have also not been ‘fit for purpose’ for a number of years.

The implementation of a new “single” case management system will provide an all-in-one solution that has built in asset and quality management, enhanced user operability, provides better investigative opportunities to forensic teams and front line officers. Additional benefits include enhanced features and services, improved data and performance management, compliance with forensic ISO accreditation requirements and supporting other legal requirements. It is scalable to meet future evolution in services, customizable to meet technical procedure changes and is compliant with all IS technical design principles going forward.

The solution proposed is called ‘Nimbus’ by Black Rainbow, which is an off-the-shelf product that has been designed to be highly configurable and flexible to the needs of the individual law enforcement agencies. Black Rainbow matched 91% of GMP’s Business requirements. The remaining GMP requirements can be delivered and has been factored into the total cost being requested.
