The Legal Information System (LIS) did not contain legacy case files from the pre-LIS era. This made it difficult for users to access all case files and data associated with it. The client was looking for a solution to get real-time business insights from i-doc.
On studying the data structure of LIS, i-doc and LIS were integrated with web services. The solution was designed as below:
1. Receiving exiting LIS data: The existing case data was migrated from LIS through JSON files and captured in i-doc with a script
2. Migrating data in real-time from LIS: A secured service by i-doc using JWT received data in real-time from LIS. JSON Web Token is an open standard that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object
3. Update LIS DB for cases captured from scanning: Document mapping in i-doc with fetched data during upload by a unique ID. A service is provided by middleware development to update LIS data with a Link
