Warren buys new software for court

WARREN

Warren City Council has authorized the city to enter into a $449,000 contract with Pioneer Technology Group of Sanford, Fla., to provide a replacement software program for municipal court.

The new software, called Benchmark, became necessary when the court’s current software company, American Cadastre, also known as AMCAD, of Herndon, Va., folded up its justice-solutions software division last June and filed for bankruptcy protection in September.

Margaret Scott, clerk of courts, said the $449,000 provides the software, training, and one year of support.

The new program is likely to be operational within one year of the contract being signed by the city administration.

She expects that to happen soon, Scott said.
