Case Study: State Judicial Courts achieve resilient, secure remote hearings and paperless e-filing with Windstream Enterprise

A state judicial court system embarks on a monumental digital overhaul across 100 courthouses, advancing remote hearings and seamless paperless e-filing

State Judicial Courts, a state court system spanning about 100 courthouses, faced an outdated MPLS network, limited bandwidth and resiliency, substandard cybersecurity, and little visibility or co‑management capability—problems that threatened the long‑term viability of remote hearings and paperless e‑filing. Windstream Enterprise was engaged to modernize the environment, bringing SD‑WAN, Managed Network Security, Secure WiFi, Cloud Managed Switches, Dynamic IP trunking, Professional Services and the WE Connect portal to the project.

Windstream Enterprise implemented an access‑agnostic SD‑WAN in an active/active configuration with broadband failover, WE Connect for centralized visibility and management, premises‑based firewalls, secure Wi‑Fi, managed switches, onsite professional services and CJIS‑compliant security operations. The result: reliable, resilient connectivity across the court system with no outages or delays, improved voice quality, reduced congestion, secure attorney access to case files, centralized co‑management, and a clear pathway to full paperless e‑filing and expanded virtual hearings.
