Netcompany is delivering the second and final phase of the Integrated Case Management System for Civil and Criminal Justice (OSDDYP). The project, which was implemented on behalf of the Ministry of Justice and commissioned by the Information Society, enables the digital management of court cases in Greece and modernizes the way courts operate throughout the country.
In response to the need for a more modern and efficient judicial system, Netcompany implemented the OSDDYPP.
During the first phase of the project, which has already been completed, the foundations were laid for the transition from a fragmented environment to a unified technological platform for 41 judicial bodies.
With the completion of the second phase, the system is being expanded nationwide, consolidating more than 1,000 different databases across all 355 courts and prosecutors’ offices, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office.
As part of the project, the new Code of Civil Procedure was also implemented, with an emphasis on the faster administration of justice, as the new regulations improved the efficiency of judicial proceedings.
In addition, Netcompany has implemented the new Judicial Map, which unifies the first two levels of the civil justice system (Court of First Instance and Magistrates’ Court), supporting the simplification and better organization of judicial operations, as well as the electronic platform for objections, which pertains to cases involving payment orders and enforcement proceedings.
With the digital management of these requests, the process becomes more organized and faster for both the courts and citizens.
Before the implementation of the OSDDYPP, case management relied on physical files, manual procedures, and fragmented information systems. Lawyers, judges, and court staff spent a great deal of time on administrative tasks, while tracking the progress of a case required frequent visits to the courts.
Now, such activities are carried out electronically, significantly simplifying the day-to-day performance of their professional duties.
Specifically, lawyers can file documents digitally without having to make repeated trips, retrieve documents uploaded by themselves, opposing parties, or court officials, and monitor the progress of cases in real time.
At the same time, the system provides judges with digital access to case files, as well as statistics and tools that facilitate their work. For court staff, case management becomes more organized and secure, with immediate access to data and a reduced administrative burden.
Christos Kontellis, country managing partner at Netcompany, stated:
“This is a pivotal and extremely complex project for our country and Greek society, which accelerates the digital transformation of the justice system, with substantial benefits for citizens and institutions. We are particularly proud to be contributing to this transformation, improving the daily lives of everyone involved in the administration of justice.”
