Information Exchange refers to the automatic, electronic transmittal of information from one computer system to another.  Exchange projects typically model an existing paper process in electronic techonology that eliminates the need for reentry of data, and improves the accuracy and timeliness of case processing. For justice officials, this means quicker access to more and better information- reducing their operating costs, and helping them prevent crimes and save lives.
