Halt selects Ordina for management and maintenance of centralised client tracking system
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Nieuwegein, 26 March 2012
Halt has selected Ordina as its new partner for IT Management activities. The
agreement for the management and maintenance of Halt's so-called AuraH3
information system has a maximum duration of 4 years. This client tracking
system, based on Microsoft.NET, supports the Halt punishment process and forms
the basis for control information and management reports used by policy makers
and decision makers. This assignment strengthens Ordina's presence in the Public
sector, particularly in the juvenile criminal justice chain. It also brings
Ordina one step closer to achieving its ambition of further expanding its IT
Management activities.
Halt contributes to the prevention and combating of juvenile crime. The Halt
punishments as well as the prevention activities, form the operational hart of
the regional Halt organisations. Youths, serving Halt punishments for
shoplifting, frequent truancy or public disturbance for instance, have to
complete learning assignments, apologise to their victims, compensate any
damages they may have caused and, in several cases, complete work assignments.
The youths' parents are usually involved in these activities.
The Halt punishments allow youths to make amends for their offences, without
facing the formal criminal justice authorities. Each year, approximately 18.000
youths between the ages of 12 and 18, receive Halt punishments. The client
tracking system AuraH3 supports the Halt employees during the entire process of
facilitating such a Halt punishment. Mutual undertakings are recorded in the
system and it allows Halt employees to monitor whether assignments have been
completed successfully, giving Halt employees insight into the entire process.
Arina Kruithof, Director of Halt: "Halt operates as the first link in the
juvenile criminal justice chain, on the verge of prevention and punishment. Halt
wants to further optimise its work processes, which requires that the (digital)
delivery of information regarding the youths and their offences be arranged
safely and reliably, in coherence with other systems (in the chain). Ordina has
a proven track record in this area and display high levels of professionalism in
delivering maintenance and control services."
Barend de Zoete, Director of Ordina's Professional Services & Projects division:
"To us, Ordina's selection as Halt's IT management and maintenance partner is an
acknowledgement of our knowledge and experience in the IT Management arena as
well as within the juvenile criminal justice chain. We are eager to apply this
knowledge when working with our clients on realising long-term solutions. Close
cooperation with our clients and short lines of communication allow us to
participate actively in finding suitable solutions to their issues. We are proud
of the fact that Halt recognises this flexibility and our personal approach and
have selected us as maintenance and control partner."
Ordina is a certified Microsoft partner.
