Implementation of Interoperability as a Tool for Modernization and Decongestion: A Connected and Efficient Colombian Judicial System in the Municipal Criminal Jurisdiction with Knowledge Function (Bucaramanga - Col)

Abstract

This article presents a mixed-methods study. The first phase involves a quantitative-descriptive review of judicial backlog statistics, analyzing the feasibility of digital information exchange between the Municipal Criminal Courts with Jurisdiction in Bucaramanga and the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia, with the aim of reducing judicial backlog in the city. Through the collection and analysis of documentary and empirical data, the current conditions of the judicial system in terms of interoperability were identified, and the use of a digital tool to optimize data flow, guaranteeing secure, verifiable, and timely information, is proposed. The research was conducted in three phases: statistical analysis of judicial backlog, diagnosis of existing technological tools (including a review of interoperability models in other jurisdictions), and design of a proposed interoperable digital system. The implementation of this solution will facilitate progress measurement indicators, allowing for the evaluation of its impact and contributing to a transformation in the management of judicial processes.
