The Mato Grosso Court of Justice (TJMT) received a greater number of cases than it was able to judge. To speed up this routine, it implemented the Electronic Judicial Process (PJE) and needed a technology that would guarantee the availability of the system 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, it wanted to speed up the provision of IT services and resources to other areas of the institution. And to meet these goals, it adopted VMware's suite of cloud solutions, reducing its time to market and improving service delivery to society.
The TJMT is the highest body of the Judiciary in the state. It currently has 260 active judges, petitions an average of 35,000 cases per month and serves more than 30,000 lawyers in 274 courts spread across 90 counties. Therefore, it wanted to simplify its entire operation and about two years ago it created the PJE, enabling the digitization of an extremely manual routine. In addition, the institution wanted to make the IT area more strategic and innovative, but needed to measure costs and have a product ready to facilitate implementation. Until then, provisioning services and resources to other areas was quite manual and time-consuming.
private cloud
To meet these expectations, TJMT decided to create a private cloud, complementing the infrastructure improvement project that had been going on since 2011. However, it needed a solution that could adapt quickly to changes and an environment that was elastic to adapt. to the growing demand.
The project was carried out in two stages. In order to optimize the delivery of infrastructure as a service, aiming to meet the technical prerequisites of the project and the solution, first, investments were needed that range from increasing the number of licenses to the acquisition of new servers and storage, which were at the limit of use. As the Court was already using VMware technologies, the natural step of evolution of the next stage was to implement a company platform as a basis for creating its private cloud: vCloud Enterprise Suite.
“The technology has a monitoring layer for each operation and makes it possible to measure the costs of any and all virtualized services within the infrastructure”, says João Paulo Wagnitz, Head of sales | N | NE | CO | RJ | ES from Compwire, VMware partner responsible for the project.
The adoption of vCloud Enterprise Suite not only achieved the expected benefits, but also enabled an increase in security, scalability and resilience in the operation of TJMT. In addition, it gained agility and efficiency, greater predictability and, consequently, better planning. Today, state processes are born digital and the court receives almost two million transactions per month.
“With the improvement of the infrastructure, we were able to increase the availability of the systems and increase the number of processes registered in 14%. Before, many times people started to register and the system crashed, but now it works 24×7. With the project, we have become a reference in innovation and transparency in the judiciary sector”, comments João Thiago Guerra, assistant judge for the presidency of the TJMT.
In addition, with vCloud, the court made available a self-service cloud services portal. Now, the other areas request environments and machines in an automated 100% way through a catalog with more than 80 pre-established templates that can be implemented in just one click, drastically speeding up the time to market of all the institution's projects. . Until then, this process was completely manual and very bureaucratic, with the opening of a ticket and an approval cycle with several steps, taking more than four days. Now the user accesses the portal and provisions their own machine easily and securely in less than 20 minutes.
cost measurement
Another benefit was the ability to accurately measure IT costs, something that was virtually impossible to do before. “Today, we know how much each hardware, software and services costs, including outsourced ones. In addition, we were able to compare the cost of maintaining an environment in our cloud or in the public one and make decisions based on that. In the future, we will be able to control investment in IT, minimizing equipment costs, in addition to increasing the transparency of public money invested”, comments Rodolfo Barbosa de Siqueira, IT Infrastructure manager at TJMT.
There was also a paradigm shift in relation to the work of the infrastructure department, which began to develop a more consultative service aimed at improving the performance of environments and greater availability of systems. This change in mindset even improved collaboration between areas.
The benefits of the solution allowed TJMT to postpone its data center expansion project and achieve a reduction in energy consumption. Now, with the latest update to VMware's tool, the court will address new challenges in the IT market, such as containers, allowing the institution to always be at the forefront of global technology.
