PLANS AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) Project Description - The CRM Application Project will provide a single source of historical interaction with external customers and will provide GCIC end users the ability to search, track and report customer interactions throughout business units. Monthly Update - There are no updates this month. CUSTOMER SUPPORT & TRAINING Project Description - The Customer Support Training group provides training in GCIC programs, GCIC applications, and GCIC/FBI compliance to criminal justice agencies across the State of Georgia. The group extends the option to receive classroom training or training within an eLearning environment. Monthly Update - The Training Staff handled 622 emails, 34 crystal reports and managed LMS user account additions. Multiple webinars and one-on-one trainings are being completed to meet State of Georgia training needs.

GEORGIA APPLICANT PROCESSING SERVICE (GAPS) PROJECT
Project Description - The Information Services section of GCIC is seeking to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced vendor to provide an applicant fingerprinting solution that will electronically capture and submit applicant fingerprints to the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The selected vendor shall also handle receiving fingerprint search results and disseminating results to the requestor.
Monthly Update - The map of GAPS locations was rolled into production and a Change Request for additional enhancements was presented to Thales. An ETA has not been determined for the Change Request.
GEORGIA LAW ENFORCEMENT MESSAGE SWITCH (GLEMS)
Project Description - The message switch provides a means of communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Georgia, the United States, and other countries, and to take advantage of new features and advances in technology. GCIC is looking to upgrade or replace this system.
15

Monthly Update - The team meets weekly to review the project and discovery meetings have been held to discuss the work required to connect to AIX, SOR, GDC, DDS/DOR and CCH interfaces, as well as a potential cloud solution.
HUMAN RESOURCE (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time.
Monthly Update - The application was successfully moved to a new server and the programmer continues to incorporate business rules.
NATIONAL INCIDENT-BASED REPORTING SYSTEM (NIBRS) PROJECT Project Description - The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) collects law enforcement data on each single incident and arrest for each offense for which specific facts are collected. GBI is in the process of replacing the current UCR summary-based system with this system.
Monthly Update - Hate Crime functionality to GAPROD was deployed and a few issues were discovered. GBI and several agencies are testing the corrections completed by Optimum. GBI reviewed and approved the GA 2020 Crime Publication which is available in the Public Portal.
RAP BACK PROJECT Project Description - The Rap Back (RB) project will provide the ability to receive ongoing status notifications of criminal history activity reported on individuals holding positions of trust. Georgia's Rap Back System will include the retention of applicant fingerprints, the implementation of an FBI Rap Back Subscription on such prints, and the creation of a validation process for authorized entities to manage such subscriptions.
Monthly Update - NEC is assisting Thales with trouble shooting issues that have occurred since moving to production. Thales has experienced multiple issues with GAPS Portal and DCH Rap Back transactions and is working with NEC and GCIC to resolve.
SERVER REFRESH Project Description - GBI is working in collaboration with GTA with the replacement, installation and configuration of several server hardware replacements and software installs.
Monthly Update - Work task items are being discussed and completed for migration to the new CCH servers. The team is also evaluating and preparing several servers to be decommissioned.
