Abstract

This technical report aims to present an analysis model for digital transformation in the 4th Civil Court of the Bauru District of the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo (TJSP). Given the challenge to be overcome by the end of 2015 of transforming the entire São Paulo judiciary system into a digital system by implementing electronic processes in the 331 Courts of the State, the new processes to be distributed must be digital due to the use of the justice automation system (SAJ). The topic is increasingly important, as studies show that in public organizations, digital transformation has led to the redesign and restructuring of work configurations, procedures and structures so that new technologies can be institutionalized. This study contributes by: (i) expanding empirical research on system implementation in public services; (ii) exploring how this transformation occurred in one court of the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo; and (iii) proposing the replicability of the analysis model for digital transformation in public and private organizations, with the potential to expand the study to other TJSP courts.
