Case Study: Justice Systems Inc. achieves scalable, loss‑proof court integrations with MuleSoft's ESB

Mule ESB Powers the Justice System

Justice Systems Inc. (JSI), an Albuquerque-based vendor that has automated court systems since 1982, needed a more flexible way to connect its new FullCourt® Enterprise case-management platform to a wide variety of external agencies. The first production rollout—a large Midwestern court with several hundred users—required replacing dozens of custom, court-specific interfaces (jail, police, traffic school, collections, victim notification, and internal prosecutor/public defender packages) with a configurable, standards-based integration approach to reduce custom coding and development cost.

JSI adopted MuleSoft’s Enterprise Service Bus with ActiveMQ-based persistence so FullCourt could exchange NIEM XML internally while Mule handled transport, transformations (to flat files, delimited formats, vendor XML, etc.), and multiple protocols (FTP, JDBC, web services, shared directories). The result was faster, lower-cost integrations that are decoupled from the core product, robust message persistence that prevents data loss, scalable deployment across courts under an OEM agreement, and reliable vendor support—delivering a production system JSI describes as effectively “bulletproof.”
