В продолжении темы о разработке и внедрении автоматизированных систем различного назначения для государственных и муниципальных заказчиков в США нельзя обойти стороной проект по автоматизации делопроизводства судебных органов штата Калифорния.
Итак, масштабный проект под названием California Court Case Management System (CСMS) был изначально запланирован для внедрения в 58 окружных судах штата Калифорния для "облегчения доступа авторизованных лиц к информации по имеющейся информации на осужденных лиц и снижения общей стоимости владения существующих систем". В согласовании проекта участвовало достаточно весомых персон и

Дальше начались "непредвиденные затруднения", которые отразились на стоимости проекта:
На одиннадцатый год реализации проект имеет следущее состояние (стр. 97) (pdf, 3,1 Мб):

The Bureau of State Audits conducted a survey of the 51 superior courts that currently do not use the criminal or the civil system, which together constitute the interim systems of the statewide case management project. This survey appears below and includes questions that cover various topics. Chapter 3 of this report presents some of the survey’s results.

Вывод аудиторов штата, по итогам проверки проекта (стр. 23):

Despite the high cost and far-reaching impact of the statewide case management project, the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), under the direction of the Judicial Council of California (Judicial Council), managed its development without sufficient planning and analysis. Since the Judicial Council directed the AOC in 2003 to continue to develop a statewide case management project, the AOC has failed to conduct a cost-benefit analysis to ensure that the estimated $1.9 billion its records show this project will cost is the most cost-effective technology solution for the case management needs of the superior courts. Furthermore, at key points during planning and development—the decisions to develop and deploy two interim systems and then to eventually discontinue deployment of one and first downsize and eventually discontinue deployment of the other in favor of a comprehensive system, referred to as the California Court Case Management System (CCMS)—the AOC could not provide contemporaneous documentation demonstrating what information it used to make these critical decisions.

За весь период выполнения стоимость проекта выросла с 240 млн. долларов до 2 млрд. долларов, а цели, поставленные при запуске - не достигнуты. При этом проект выполняется не в каком-нибудь захолустном штате, типа Северной Дакоты или Небраски, а в штате, где располагается "сердце американского хайтека" - Кремниевая Долина, что означает, как минимум, наличие большого числа профильных для проекта компаний и специалистов.
