Ability for staff to track offenders from first felony conviction, ability to provide access to offender information to LLE, US Probation, US Marshalls, FBI, ICE division in our state, Drug Courts, Governor's staff, ACIC, Crime Lab, Prosecuting Attorneys, Fusion Center, ability to interface with Administrative Office of Courts to obtain electronic sentencing orders, update agency website automatically, provide electronic reports and data statistics to users and outside sources, provide automated reports to Social Security Administration , ability to modify with legislative changes and enhance as needed in a timely manner

eOMIS is a customizable web based OMS that provides the ability to be modified based on our changing needs. Since initial implementation in 2001, we have expanded use from basic time computation and tracking of offenders to biometric verification of staff and inmate visitors; certified EHR; electronic documentation of incidents at each facility, Internal Affairs investigations including PREA related incidents; Inmate banking and canteen; KIOSKs for inmates to view some of their inmate file information, health service requests, transfer funds to inmate phone account from checking accounts, place canteen orders. Software is fairly user friendly and processes are self-explanatory. Workflows can be established in the menu based on staff work functions. Reference option allows you to include specific "how to instructions" through print and video. Software can be interfaced with outside sources for expansion of functionality (biometric verification, GIS, ASCL-DNA results, ACIC-criminal history, etc). It allows us to track offenders through incarceration, supervision and discharge across the state.

Some sections could be streamlined to require fewer "clicks" to complete data entry add/update process. Programmed reports when ordered in excel format instead of pdf contain page breaks instead of true excel format that is sortable by user. Training material contained in reference tab contains programmer language and may be difficult for non-technical staff to understand. Some browse sections do not have the ability to sort by data field headings or the ability to retrieve/view the information by all rows instead they are limited to twenty entries per page. Drop down lists that contain staff names should be sorted/displayed alphabetically regardless of case entry (all upper case, mixed, all lower case)

eOMIS has been a great asset to our agency. eOMIS is an excellent offender tracking tool for offenders as well as an avenue to track staff.
