Microsoft is going to court, but in a much different way thantheir recent headlinesover unconstitutional gag orders. Instead, Microsoft is looking to offer its software and services as a way to reinvent productivity in the courtroom.

In a blog post today titled “E-Justice: Digitizing Today’s Courts,” Microsoft detailed how a combination of cloud services like Microsoft Azure, Office 365, Dynamics CRM, and Intune can help courts improve their workflows to handle ever-growing caseloads.

Microsoft cited their recent experience with theSupreme Court of the United Kingdonas an example of how impactful digitizing records and processes can be for courts. After implementing Azure, Office 365, Dynamics CRM, and Intune, the Supreme court’s justices and staff members were able to work more efficiently and effectively; reducing adjournments and getting on track to reducing their overall IT budget by 60%.

The overall process involves using Azure to digitizes court records, using Office 365 to schedule and coordinate court sessions with the requisite staff, using Dynamics CRM Online to manage the lifecycle of cases, and even using Skype for Business to enable remote testimony during trials. And of course coordinating all of these activities through cloud-enabled software means that administrative officials can track all of the data to look for irregularities and see what is and isn’t working on both granular and 35,000 feet in the air macro levels.

Microsoft has beencourting law enforcementandother government agencieswith Azure Government, which continually gainsnew security certificationsin order to provide such sensitive services. But with their new “E-Justice” initiative they are expanding to include the other side of the legal equation.
