History and Vision Realisation...

The experience...

The team behind AGEHi experience dates back to 1998 when they undertook an   automation in Patent, Copyright, Design and Trade Marks for local attorneys. Later in 1995 this work started to develop into a specialty as a project awarded to them by a US based social sector firm The Asia Foundation for automating 50 years of State Bank Circulars and Pakistan Code.

By late nineties the team having rich exposure to IT and LEGAL automation was hired by The Asian Development Bank for  diagnostic study in automation for courts requirements for bringing about legal reforms in the country. Later in the year 2001, the project went into its next phase of piloting, thereby providing an opportunity for devising pilot court automation system for high courts.

Having been part of extensive diagnostic exercise all over Pakistan and a pilot program experience, an enterprising vision started to emerge within the company for having one court automation and dissemination system for Pakistan. The team started working on a visionary program. The enterprise vision soon put to realization into an automation framework which can address not only the software needs of  courts but it must deliver complete set of artifacts for courts to setup. operationalise and sustain such a system.

The promise...

Given the ground conditions in Pakistani courts at district level, it was hard to imagine a sustainable system which depends on high end technology for startup and sustainability. This all led to solution parameters which will be run by ordinary staff members thereby needing no high startup costs or high end people to run it over the years.  Further the experience around us showed that by having just a software would not deliver, it must be end to end set of artifacts for such a solution to take root and sustain, this formed the corner stone develop this into complete framework called AGEHI, an integrated and standardized end to end solution.

Virtuality to reality...

With all that seven years of research and development the product still needed a platform to takeoff. Hon. Judge Zafer Ahmed Khan Sherwani with his  tremendous leadership and an ability to see through the wall as to what is  in the offing reposed the trust on Trees. Resultantly a multi facet CFMS (Court Flow Management System) at Pakistan’s biggest city  Karachi and its biggest district i.e Karachi EAST (www. karachieast.org) was launched.

Having had remarkable result in a matter of first four months with a meager spending has been a testimony of strategy. Today Trees stands on the cross road of offering the AGEHI solution to all the courts in Pakistan to come under one standard platform.
