"Through our work with Northpointe, New York State has implemented the customized COMPAS risk and need assessment instrument throughout our probation departments," explained Robert Maccarone, State Director of NYS Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives. "Probation practitioners now have the tools to identify a persons’ criminogenic needs and develop more effective case plans that will assist offenders in changing their behavior and reduce recidivism."
IT Implementation
Northpointe IT services provide our clients with experienced personnel to assist in the technical implementation of the software applications. Usually working with your own agency’s IT department Northpointe provides the following services to get your agency up and running smoothly:
Software Development and Customization
Northpointe maintains its own in house staff of software developers to provide fully customizable software solutions to meet the business requirements of the agency and address the individual needs of the users and their clients.
Maintenance and Technical Support
Northpointe provides our clients with ongoing maintenance and technical support of our software applications. Service is provided via internet, phone, e-mail and onsite visits when necessary. All maintenance and support contracts address any software bug fixes, software updates and enhancements.
Northpointe Hosting
Northpointe provides the option of hosting the COMPAS application for our clients. The cost of purchasing new hardware and software along with the additional staff needed to support the application may put pressure on your agency’s budget that is not available at the present time. The Northpointe hosting option can be an alternative to offset those costs.
