  Case management

  The project

  Modernisation and maintenance of a legacy case management system. The project’s aim was to improve existing business processes in a leading criminal investigation agency and to replace the legacy technology stack with an easy-to-use, up-to-date system.

  The scope

  Computer technology has placed vast amounts of information at the fingertips of law enforcement officers. While agencies have immediate access to a large collection of crime data, they face new challenges on how to rely less on human intervention to uncover the intelligence from raw data. As new technology emerges, law enforcement agencies must adapt techniques and amend policies to better serve and protect communities. Corballis modernised the agency’s legacy software architecture to improve and support the pursuit of crime suspects. As a result, the number of manual processes to gather, capture and record key information relating to investigations has greatly reduced, while information sharing between departments and their technologies has become simpler.

  Our implementation

  The bespoke case management system implemented by Corballis allows law enforcement officers to quickly see all important aspects of the investigation. Documents, relationships, assets, correspondences, court transcripts and everything else that might be important about an organisation or a person is visualised using a highly intuitive graphical user interface that drives investigation effectiveness.

  The case management system’s capabilities include:

  • Integrated document management component
  • • Allows direct creation and review of documents associated with a particular case or target
    • Full version control with roll-back capability
    • Flexible search techniques including exact matching, free-text search and fuzzy-matching
    • Supports all common file formats
    • Highly scalable component that manages hundreds of thousand of documents
    • Batch capturing of documents (scanned documents, photos, etc.)
    • Multiple layers of access permissions (folders, files)
  • Flexible relationship management module
  • • Create and link targets and assets
    • Single composite view of any suspect under surveillance by the agency
    • Intuitive interface to navigate the relationships that supports investigators to uncover hidden linkages and surface undiscovered patterns
  • Integrated messaging and calendar system
  • Reminders and notifications
  • Custom reports
  • Correspondence register
  • Evidence tracking
  • Security
  • • Sophisticated user profiles that ensure only authorised users can view parts of the system
    • Full audit trail
  • Modern HTML5 based user interface
  • Operational on a 24/7 basis and used by all members of the agency

  Airline and travel data processing

  The project

  Development, deployment, upgrade and support of a generic Messaging Gateway application for a large international aerospace and defence company.

  The scope

  Governments are required to manage and secure their borders through the use of traveller intelligence. This is achieved by collecting passenger information from airlines operating flights to and from their country. Collecting traveller information is a complex process, because governments need to deal with a large number of airlines and border security agencies are required to comply with international data protection laws. The aim is to simplify the collection of traveller data for border management, profiling and threat analysis. The solution Corballis implemented for its client greatly simplifies the process of data collection, allowing border security agencies to concentrate their efforts on the actual data and threat analysis.

  Our implementation

  Our solution supports the collection of critical Advance Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR) data within a flexible platform designed to accommodate varying government and border management requirements. It seamlessly integrates into the border management and border control systems.

  The Messaging Gateway’s capabilities include:

  • efficient collection of all common types of data formats used for traveller data
  • flexible architecture that makes adding new types of data formats straightforward
  • native handling for XML structured traveller messages
  • powerful tools for accelerated and seamless integration
  • broad range of supported transport mechanisms (MQ, email, FTP, SFTP, web services, etc.)
  • configurable publishing mechanism that can be used to expose traveller data as a service
  • customisable distribution and cleansing of traveller data to multiple systems
  • automated archiving and cleaning simplifies database administration
  • familiar e-mail look and feel, enabling support staff to visualize, inspect and examine data for diagnostic purposes

  The change from Wordpress - Hexo

  The project

  Making a change. Moving our website from dynamic Wordpress to static Hexo.

  The scope

  Dynamic websites, like Wordpress, have upsides and downsides. Some of it's downsides are that the speed and the hardware requirement of the website is not always the lowest, this costs the user experience. Wordpress has also a wide range of vulnerabilities. These are just some of the errors we would like to eliminate and for this job, a static content generator is the best solution.

  Our implementation

  Why Hexo?

  • Hexo is one of the fastest static content generator.
  • You can easily add or make new features to the generator using Node.js and JavaScript
  • Constantly updated and actively maintained. Hexo's repository on GitHub is very active and it's actively being maintained.
  • It's simple and flexible.
  • Hexo works well with Github and it's easy to keep track of the versions of the website.
