Dublin, OH, May 27, 2003 -- Sypherlink, a leading technology firm that enables information sharing across multiple data sources and provides information access controls, has joined the Integrated Justice Information Systems (IJIS) Industry Working Group (IWG).

"Sypherlink effectively addresses three main challenges in integrating justice information," said James Paat, Sypherlink President and CEO. "We do this by significantly reducing the time, cost and complexity typically associated with data mapping; enabling each agency to create and authorize unique views of its data while maintaining complete data ownership and control; and allowing users to treat multiple, disparate data sources as a single, virtually centralized database to support better and more-informed decision making."

"The mission of the IWG is to contribute to the implementation of integrated justice information systems throughout the country by applying the knowledge and experience of the IT industry," said IWG Chairman Paul Wormeli. "We now have 100 IWG members, and we are pleased to welcome Sypherlink to the group."

IWG has a number of goals to help shape the national agenda including but not exclusive to the support of educational programs for practitioners related to the application of information technology necessary for the creation of integrated justice information systems; provide technology-based assistance and the sharing of knowledge to organizations seeking to implement integrated justice information systems; and, providing technology-based assistance and the sharing of knowledge to organizations seeking to implement an integrated justice information system.
