Under the auspices of the state Attorney GeneraleIUs office, DOJ establishes and operates projects and programs to protect Californians from fraudulent, unfair, and illegal activities that victimize consumers or threaten public safety. As part of its services to the general public, elected officials, law enforcement agencies, and other government entities, DOJ responds to inquires from these groups and helps to resolve their issues and answer their questions. To facilitate this service and make the process more efficient and effective, DOJ partnered with Delegata to develop the CSTAR system. CSTAR was developed to automate the existing manual processes, provide workflow efficiency and real-time updates, improve communications, and generate on-demand and monthly management reports. CSTAR enables DOJeIUs Public Inquiry Unit (PIU più adv. Music More. Used to qualify an adjective or another adverb in directions. [Italian, from Latin pl ) to receive, analyze, track, and respond to all inquiries from the public and its other stakeholders in a timely and cost effective manner. The system interacts with DOJeIUs website and enables constituents to electronically submit information to the PIU. "With CSTAR, we can now handle ten times the volume of correspondence with no increase in staff," stated Sheri Hofer, DOJ Chief of the Departmental Services Bureau. "We also realized significant cost savings by dramatically reducing paper storage needs of approximately 45,000 sheets per month. CSTAR has given us the ability to maintain publication inventories, receive scheduled reports, and provide external interfacing organizations with access to complaint information - all with the ease of a single web-based application See Web application. ." The CSTAR system utilized leading-edge solution development methods and tools and established an architectural foundation for reusable components that have been leveraged on subsequent DOJ projects.

Each iteration, consisting of requirements, analysis & design, implementation and testing, results in the release of an executable subset of the final product, which grows incrementally from iteration to lifecycle processes for future project endeavors. Knowledge transfer for these technologies and processes was a key component of the overall solution delivered by Delegata to the DOJ team. "The DOJeIUs leadership has been a critical driver in moving the organizationeIUs operations to the next level. Without the vision and dedication to develop an architectural foundation with reusable components, this system would not be as dynamic and applicable as it is today.
