Network and disaster recovery expertise that leaves nothing to chance Data Systems & Games and the Georgia Lottery Since 1993, DS&G has helped assure that people in any part of Georgia can purchase a lottery ticket. As the computer back-up data center for GTECH, the primary supplier of systems and services for the Georgia Lottery, we handle a variety of tasks involved in running the games, troubleshooting potential network problems and ensuring swift disaster recovery in the event of a problem. The Georgia Lottery Corporation mandates that lottery games remain fully operational from 6:00 a.m. to midnight, with exorbitant 'per-minute' fines levied for any unexpected system failure. We're pleased to have maintained an outstanding 'uptime' rate throughout more than 3,000 days and nights of this operation. Lottery services include: o Full duplication of primary data center operations, as 'back up' o Network monitoring, troubleshooting and disaster recovery o Around the clock operations o Processing of daily wagers, and reporting o Quality assurance testing for new games prior to launching online o Support from knowledgeable, well-trained team When data accuracy means life or death Data Systems & Games and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) One innocent data entry error on an individual's criminal record can follow that person for life - or inadvertently allow a criminal to escape the proper punishment. Knowing the potential danger of relying on imperfect data, the GBI sought a partner to oversee data entry operations of one of its departments, the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC). DS&G has been that trusted partner since 1996. The GBI commissioned DS&G to transcribe Final Disposition Report forms (also known as Offender Based Tracking System forms) using the appropriate criminal codes, then employ computerized data entry to create a computer tape and/or diskette for subsequent data upload to the GCIC centralized Criminal History Database. As part of our commitment to the GBI, DS&G is required to produce a minimum of 40,000 documents per month - all of varying length and complexity - with an error rate no higher than 3%. We've exceeded the GBI's expectations by maintaining an error rate of less than 1%, and we continue to strive for zero. Nonetheless, our record is exemplary. In addition to producing this massive volume of documents - along with multiple reports for management - DS&G also handles data entry for the GBI's Georgia Uniform Crime Reports and Family Violence Reports…both of which are forwarded to the FBI for their use. By having a dedicated partner in DS&G, the GBI helps assure that Georgia's criminal records are among the most accurate, reliable and up to date in the nation.
