Livecycle Workflow and Adobe Connect italian case study

Thanks to John Dowell I discovered this great Adobe Case study about the use of Connect and Livecycle Workflow by Tribunale of Cremona :

Tribunale di Cremona is an efficient unit of the Italian legal system. 14 judges and 50 employees work at the court which assembles about 7 times a week, tackling 12 to 13 criminal trials each time.

Tribunale di Cremona has been using computer technology for quite some time, following guidelines from the Digital Administration Code. Efficiency and speed have inspired several projects including the conversion of documents to digital format done in collaboration with Adobe. For the past several years, all papers related to pre-trial conferences have been available in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Starting recently, all court papers associated with a trial are available in digital format only.
