Corrections and rehabilitation - $245 million

EDS (HP) has won a $245 million, 4.5-year agreement with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to transform the agency into a digital environment by automating manual business processes to improve productivity, accuracy and, ultimately, enhance staff, public and offender safety. EDS will provide system integration and applications modernization services to help increase availability of accurate and complete information so employees can easily monitor the effectiveness of department programs. Additionally, EDS will create and manage the image capture, database, information storage and server environment where offender information will reside. The new initiative streamlines dozens of databases, record keeping processes and systems with a single integrated solution. HP will provide servers, scanners and printers as part of the agreement.
