CJEP is a massive software project. In reality a project is usually delivered module by module bases. Not a big bang. It is simply not possible. Especially an e justice system only applicable to the Victorian Justice System. And I think those guys at the IBM who developed a fair chunk of the work did an excellent job with the tools set 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the IT technology moves very quickly, CJEP as a E justice System is out dated. And by the sound of things they are not injecting with fund to keep up to date. You are right about the complexity of the system. When the project was first scoped out. There were a lot of missing piece and still is. Well the prisons can not get in or out of prison with out CJEP e-justice application..
There is an E brief component in CJEP. It was outdated. Since the upgrade, CJEP was running in oracle 8 and they went through an upgrade to oracle 10g about two years ago. In the process they remove a lot of the broken outdated legacy sub system which was not working correctly. E Brief is a simple module. It is just an URL - hyper link to a brief ID after a search function to return a brief. And the documents are sent to a appropriate parties.. There is a security flaw in this module where the documents are distributed via email attachment. It should be some kind of encryption to all the attach documents. And the parties received the documents can only view it once it received a key to the documents. E brief web application is served in the courts DMZ network..
Actually the CJEP application was a hodge podge of programming poorly slapped together by the outsource organisation.
What the outsourcer did was reprehensible:
* Sell the government on their good programmers
* Replace them after a year with university graduates, who did not even know how to program in the language that the original programmers did
* Continue cycling university graduates through the CJEP application developer group on an annual basis, by moving them up into more profitable ventures/projects for other organisations
* Hence CJEP became a hodge-podge of different applications written in different languages bundled crudely together though multiple installations
The head of the organisation who was meant to keep them (and the different government departments/organisations) in check was also to blame, being more interested in his hair colourations than in actually delivering something that is to the benefit of all Victorians.

Perhaps the Auditor General and his department should be educated on ISO 38500/AS8015.
This might result in the requirement - or even mandate - that the VIC Govt should adopt the standard.
