DCS is pleased to announce that Fujitsu Australia Limited has been selected as the preferred supplier to manage the Department’s new iSAFE Integrated Offender Management solution (IOMS) that will enable end-to-end case management across corrections from entry to exit.

Fujitsu will implement the new system in partnership with Syscon Justice Systems, an industry-leading Software-as-a-Service specialist with a strong track record in servicing state corrections agencies in Australia and abroad.

The new iSAFE system will be designed to ensure sensitive and critical information related to offenders can be accessed across all relevant justice agencies both throughout South Australia and across the country during unfolding operations.

Other benefits of iSAFE include the removal of paper-based processes, improved cyber security, enhanced case management and better support for real time access to information to ensure safer decision making.

Minister for Correctional Services Vincent Tarzia welcomed the partnership with Fujitsu and the much needed upgrade to DCS's information sharing capability.

“Fujitsu will design, test, implement the iSAFE solution and provide five years of ongoing support and maintenance, with the option of extension,” Minister Tarzia said.

Dave Lennon, Head of Industry – Public Sector at Fujitsu Australia, said Fujitsu was pleased to be selected as a trusted digital transformation partner by the South Australian government to undertake this project.

“We look forward to partnering with the Department for Correctional Services to deliver transformational innovation that’s set to deliver significantly improved system functionality and efficiencies and underpin agile decision making for the state’s corrections sector.”

The planning phase started in December 2021 and the system is expected to go live late 2023.
