## History

RSI was founded in 1983. Bob Gorman currently serves as RSI's president and lead software architect.[5]

An early version of RSI's case management technology was adopted by the Vermont Judicial Bureau in 1990 to computerize workflows associated with traffic court cases.[6]

RSI's Forecourt software was adopted by the Massachusetts Appellate Courts (comprising the Massachusetts Appeals Court and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court) as a pilot program in the late 1990s and then implemented state-wide in 2001.[7] Starting in 2003 the Appellate Courts used RSI technology to allow web-based public access to non-confidential case information in the Forecourt system.[8] An updated version of the system and its web portal remain in use as of November 2015.[9][10] In 2014 RSI updated the system to ingest electronically filed case documents from attorneys and litigants, such as briefs and motions.[11]

Forecourt was adopted by the Connecticut Housing Court in 2002.[12] The system remains in use as of November 2015.[13]

## Products
