Information Technology Department

The Information Technology Department is primarily responsible for supporting the computer network and responding to user needs. This department is supervised by the Deputy District Attorney for Administration and Training.

Chief among the duties of the Department is to oversee the increased use of computer technology by the entire staff, and to protect the integrity and security of the office electronic data. Also, the department seeks to eliminate redundancy, replication and duplication of effort and data entry by the staff.

In May 1998, the District Attorney selected a case management and tracking software package known as "Prosecutor Dialog" for use throughout the Office. The installation and implementation of the software signaled the end of the era of paper-based tracking systems and record keeping and into an era of reliance on computers to maintain and archive information. This new case management system allows staff to track the status of cases and generate reports, reducing the need to generate and move paper from office to office. Additionally, all of the Office's commonly used legal forms reside on the case management system and can be accessed and generated electronically. It is worth noting that this software is being installed in several other prosecutors' office throughout Georgia.
