8 Before the restructuring of the Justice Statistical Data System (SIEJ), the Justice Statistics did not respond efficiently to the needs of the users, specially of those responsible for the public policies: High time to market of the statistical information 9 months to disseminate the provisional data Reduced capacity to cross variables that do not detail representations of the reality SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 8

9 Thus, the following needs of improvement were identified in the Justice Statistics: 1. Reduction of the time and effort in the stage of collection of the statistical data; 2. Better analysis of the statistical data collected; 3. Reduction of the time needed to render the statistical data available and universal. What is the solution? SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 9

10 What is the solution? To insure the full support of the statistical operations in an integrated Information System Old system New system is implemented Restructuring Project on the Justice Statistical Data System SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 10

11 Old system Performing of acts by the informing entities Duplication of work Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Paper filling by the informing entities Forwarding of the paper inquiries to DGPJ, by mail Recording of data in the DGPJ system Data base SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 11

12 Old system Disadvantages of the old method of collection: 1. Costs a) Paper statistical inquiries paper forms in2003 b) Expedition DGPJ Informing entities DGPJ c) Staff Duplication of work in the informing entities and intensive workload in the recording of data at the DGPJ 2. Quality of the information Lack of prior output quality control 3. Time One month and a half until the recording of data (in average) SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 12

13 New System With project Hermes two new methods of data collection were introduced: 1. Automatic transfer of files between the support applications to the activity of the informing entities and SIEJ Preferential method Intended to cover all the major informing entities. 2. Web Forms for direct recording by the informing entities on the SIEJ data base Transitory method To use while the entities do not dispose of support applications or while they are not ready for the automatic transfer of files. SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 13

14 New System 1. Automatic transfer of files Performing of acts by the informing entities One single phase on the collection process Automatic transfer of files containing administrative data Examples: Courts, Criminal Police, etc. SIEJ data base SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 14

15 New System 1. Automatic transfer of files Benefits: Less costs in printing, mail and staff in the data recording Better quality of data through the automatic validation of the data and the direct use of administrative data Clear reduction of the workload of the informing entities in cases of automatic interface Elimination of work duplication Statistical information available after one week SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 15

16 New System 2. Web Forms Performing of acts by the informing entities Duplication of work Phase 1 Phase 2 Examples: Registry Offices, Notaries Offices, Arbitration Centres, etc. On-line filling of Web Forms Data Base SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 16

17 New System 2. Web Forms Benefits regarding the old system: Less costs in printing, mail and staff in the data recording Better quality of data through the automatic validation Disadvantages in relation to the automatic transfer of data: The duplication of work by the informing entities still occurs Less reliable information once the administrative data are not used More time to disseminate the information SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 17

18 Old System Disadvantages of the old data base/ AS400 system for the processing and analysis of data: 1. Data stored in more than one compartment, without the possibility of a global analysis 2. Limited statistical analysis tools 3. Lack of detail 4. Slow system 5. Unfriendly graphic interface SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 18

19 New System Benefits of using a multi-dimensional data base : The existence of a single data repository allows a transversal, functional and temporal data analysis, with greater detail and quality, regardless of their origin Use of advanced tools of statistical analysis and of support to the decisions SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 19

20 New System Benefits of using a multi-dimensional data base: Greater capacity to aggregate data according to the different levels of detail Use of tolls with intuitive and friendly graphic interfaces, regardless of the users knowledge on data bases SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 20

21 Old System Dissemination in paper and in PDF files at in a static way Data dissemination: provisional over nine months; definitive over twelve months after the end of each year Weak perception of the effective counterpart by the providing entities SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 21

22 New System Benefits of the on-line and dynamic dissemination of the statistical information: The different users, with different degrees of access, may manipulate and explore the information rendering the statistical reports adequate to their needs; Any alteration or updating in the data is immediately available to all users; SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 22

23 New System Benefits of the on-line and dynamic dissemination of the statistical information : The information disseminated on the Internet is available for any user, at any moment, in any part of the world; Geo-referencing of the data; Intuitive, friendly and appealing graphic presentation. SIEJ Sistema de Informação das Estatísticas da Justiça 23
