What is iConnect?
iConnect is the integration platform within NEXI Software that connects your existing Records Management System (RMS) and related agency applications to the NEXI electronic filing platform.
Instead of manually entering the same case information multiple times, iConnect retrieves existing data from connected systems, organizes it into a Filing Worksheet with supporting documentation, and prepares it for electronic submission to the District Attorney’s Office. This reduces paperwork, minimizes errors and speeds the criminal case filing process.
How iConnect Works
- Connect Existing Agency Systems
iConnect securely connects with your Records Management System (RMS), document management system, and other agency applications. Existing systems remain unchanged while case information is accessed for filing preparation.
- Prepare the Filing Package
Case reports, narratives, evidence, images, and supporting documents are automatically gathered and organized into a structured Filing Worksheet and filing package.
- Review Before Submission
Officers and supervisors can review the completed filing package to verify that all required information and documents are included before submission.
- Submit Electronically
Once approved, the Filing Worksheet and supporting documentation are electronically submitted to the District Attorney’s Office through NEXI, eliminating the need for paper files or in-person delivery.
Why Use iConnect?
iConnect helps law enforcement agencies prepare and submit criminal case filings more efficiently by using information already stored in existing Records Management Systems (RMS), reducing duplicate data entry and manual errors. Case information, reports, evidence, images, and supporting documents are organized into a single filing package for electronic submission.
Agencies can continue using their current RMS and related applications without replacing existing software, while a centralized dashboard provides real-time visibility into each filing package with statuses such as Pending, Under Review, Submitted, and Returned.
Built for Criminal Case Filing
iConnect supports the connection between law enforcement agencies and District Attorney’s Offices.
By integrating with existing RMS and related systems, iConnect helps agencies prepare, review and electronically submit Filing Worksheets and supporting documentation through a structured digital workflow. The result is less manual work, fewer delays, improved accuracy and a faster criminal case filing process.
