Episode notes

In this episode, we return to the topic of OMS modernization, examining how agencies are balancing complex system environments while managing ongoing OMS software releases and updates.

We’re joined once again by our esteemed panel of experts from the IJIS Corrections Advisory Committee: Rick Davis, Lynn Ayala, Jerry Brinegar, and Chrysta Murray.

Together, they explore key considerations for modernizing an OMS, including the advantages and challenges of big bang versus phased implementations, cloud-hosted versus on-premises deployments, and the critical role vendors play in delivering software updates and ongoing support without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Tune in as this experienced panel shares first-hand insights that can help agencies navigate their own modernization journeys with greater confidence and success.
