Due to the lack of data consolidation between the two technologies, it caused multiple problems, including delayed reconciliation of payments, double-data entry that increased an average of 40-hours per week, higher errors due to manual key entry, and increased call volumes from unhappy citizens inquiring about their payment statuses. Solution Without hesitation, the initial approach for nCourt was to work with the court’s existing CMS vendor, Journal Technologies. Due to nCourt’s familiarity with their CMS software, eCourt, nCourt was able to quickly identify the technology gaps and integrate its cloud-base payment solution. This solution allowed the court to expand it’s payment channel to include card-not present transactions for online transactions. Results Speed to market was seamless with the launch of nCourt’s enhanced payment solution. The court’s revenue jumped from $4MM per year to more than $9MM, with nCourt supporting more than 130,000 citations fees and fines for the county. This ultimately allowed for secure hosting of real-time and dynamic data – all together eliminating double-entry errors, manual processes and improvement for on-time payments and reconciliation. 12 nCourt.com MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE MUNICIPALITY AND YOUR CITIZENS Easy Secure Efficient • Pay online and by mobile device • Level 1 PCI Compliance (highest • Bilingual, U.S.-based Payment Center 24/7/365 security level in the industry) • Court-specific
