Nevada selects Unisys-led team for IT modernization and cloud migration project supporting criminal justice information system

Nevada has selected a Unisys-led team to support its Department of Public Safety, Records, Communications and Compliance Division with a long-term, multi-phase effort to modernize various systems that comprise the Nevada Criminal Justice Information System.

NCJIS provides both law enforcement information and civil applicant processing to assist thousands of statewide police officers as well as citizens requesting background check services, according to Unisys.

The project aims to modernize both the way the agency handles information requests from criminal justice agencies and requests for background checks from the public. In addition to CloudForte® — Unisys’ secure solution for digital transformation and hybrid cloud management and application development—the work will rely heavily on the Unisys Law Enforcement Message Switch/Justice Exchange (LEMS/JX™), a solution designed specifically to support the exchange of law enforcement and criminal justice information.

Joining Unisys on the project is Diverse Computing, Inc., of Tallahassee, Florida, Analysts International Corporation of Duluth, Georgia, and Tailored Solutions Corporation of Salem, Oregon.
