The Systems Department of the Ministry of Justice developed ECIS in-house as part of a comprehensive Bahrain Court Information System (BCIS) that already included civil, criminal, and domestic modules. Like Other BCIS modules, ECIS uses Computer Associates database and fourth-generation programming products on an IBM ES 9000 computer. The ECIS database includes typical case management system records: case summary, participant, docket and tracking, even, print image, and lookup tables; however ECIS also included receipt and disbursement transaction records and performance records. The financial component of ECIS is a subsidiary ledger. Integration of financial and case information in a single system makes for a complete and consistent database. Administrator-maintained access tables control the ability of each user to select each menu option from each defined location. A formal evaluation of ECIS in 1993 developed post-implementation measurements from system data. Pre-implementation and post- implementation indicators showed aspects of the success of ECIS, and significant improvements have continued since.
