- Configured systems with proper code mappings
- Validated with court staff and legal reviewers
- Documented mappings for future reference
The Outcome
Successful data migration with standardized offense codes. Deep IVC expertise developed through practical application. Ability to discuss regulatory details with court administrators and hearing officers.
