New Computer System In South Dakota

June 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

The public eventually should have better access to court case information with a new computer system being installed throughout South Dakota, a court official said.

It's also the first full overhaul of the Unified Judicial System's case management system in about 25 years, an official said.

The new program, called Odyssey, went live this week in the Brown County-based 5th Judicial Circuit, said Patricia Duggan, state court administrator for the South Dakota judicial system.

In fall, six of the 14 counties in the 3rd Judicial Circuit, based in Brookings County, started using Odyssey as part of a pilot program, Duggan said. The remaining eight counties in the 3rd Circuit also switched to Odyssey this week.

The old system, a collection of programs authored in-house and called Legacy, is still being used in other judicial circuits.

At the Brown County clerk of courts office in Aberdeen, the switch to a new system is going well, said Elisha Kuhfeld, deputy clerk. It's helped that representatives from the Texas-based Tyler Technologies have been around to help with the transition, she said.
