"The Virginia Department of Corrections is charged with a serious public safety obligation," said Gene Johnson, VADOC Director. "We manage more than 75,000 offenders in prison facilities and under community supervision across Virginia. Ensuring that our staff has accurate and timely information about offenders is critical to the important decisions they make every day. In partnership with xwave, we will be replacing several inadequate and obsolete information systems with a single integrated and technologically current system that will ensure the right information gets to the right people at the right time. Our DOC staff and related criminal justice agencies will see many benefits from our new system."
CORIS is an integrated, Web-based offender management system (OMS) that supports information needs for incarcerated offenders as well as offenders on community supervision. The solution connects relevant stakeholders through a single application and centralized database, thereby providing a complete and holistic view of the offender environment. In this way, offenders can be better tracked and more effectively managed as they move through the corrections system. CORIS is built entirely using Microsoft .NET architecture. The .NET framework is designed specifically to enable web services as well as merge seamlessly with legacy systems.
