Another important achievement was the increase in the efficiency of the technology team.

The standardization of the technology also allowed for a technical team with more uniform knowledge.

The centralization of the telephone service in Goiânia resulted in a significant improvement in the quality and standardization of the service provided to internal and external users. This translates into a more efficient and effective experience for all those who need to contact the court.

For the general population, the modernization project represented a significant advance in terms of access and convenience to the services offered by TJGO. In its contact center, it has 44 highly trained agents, and in addition to the traditional voice channel, the Court will soon offer access to its services through digital channels, such as chat, WhatsApp and email. This expands communication options and facilitates access to justice, making the agency's services more inclusive, democratizing access to services for the population.

“We had several telephone exchanges spread across the state that required specific technical knowledge and we needed to change equipment on a daily basis. Today, with the Avaya solution, our support is easy and remote, contributing greatly to the technology team.”

—Vinícius da Silva Resende, Director of TJGO’s Telecommunications Technical Center

The implemented modernization project brought with it a number of other significant benefits for the Goiás Judiciary. In addition to the increase in the number of channels available to serve society, mobility has also been improved, with the possibility of making video calls and access via cellular through softphones. Now, employees can connect and operate telephone extensions from anywhere in the world, providing greater flexibility and adaptability to the demands of the modern workplace.

Communications security is a top priority for the Goiás Court of Justice, especially with regard to the sensitive and confidential information handled on a daily basis. With the implementation of Avaya technology, it was possible to achieve a high standard of security, ensuring that each call was protected by unique encryption keys, exchanged with each connection. This measure reinforces the protection of sensitive data and gives users peace of mind about the confidentiality of their communications.

“For the population, we will increase access to our services, enabling new channels of communication. On the server side, we added new mobility functions, all taking into account the highest level of security.”
