Recommendation #20 To: Administrative Office of the Courts

To ensure that any future IT projects are in the best interest of the judicial branch and the State, the AOC should better structure contracts with development and deployment vendors to protect the financial interests of the judicial branch and ensure the contracts provide for adequate warranty periods.

1-Year Agency Response

The AOC stated it will continue to work with the best qualified legal counsel to ensure that its development and deployment contracts protect the financial interests of the judicial branch and the State. The AOC also stated it will include appropriate warranty periods in IT projects and will ensure that any future development and deployment contracts address the length and timing of a warranty period to ensure necessary protection.
