Collin County District Courts (Laureate)
The Felony Video Plea Program/Process (FVPP) implemented by the Collin County District Courts was established to achieve multiple goals culminating in a more efficient government process and a cost savings to taxpayers.
With video communications as an integral piece, the goals for the FVPP were: (1) increase courthouse security for the benefit of court personnel and the public; (2) decrease cost to the Sheriff's Office; (3) increase court efficiencies by decreasing time to dispose of a felony plea; (4) increase the efficiency of the District Attorney's Office and criminal defense lawyers; (5) either decrease indigent criminal defense costs or make the felony plea process more efficient to retain high quality criminal defense lawyers on appointed criminal cases.

SUNY Upstate Medical University - Staying Connected is Good Medicine Program (Laureate)
Each year at Upstate Medical University Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders over 70 children are diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder that will significantly impact their school experience. For many of the children, the diagnosis and treatment of their disease prevents them from participating in the daily routines of school.
Staying Connected is Good Medicine was developed was set in motion as a result of the hospitals educational specialist recognizing the need for these children to stay in tuned with their school work and their classmates. In collaboration with TANDBERG, Oswego County BOCES, Time Warner and Upstate Medical University Telemedicine Program, Staying Connected provides the necessary connections for children to stay current with activities, assignments, and classroom instruction that occur in their school. Further, the program offers an opportunity for children to maintain social and emotional relationships with their classmates. The interactive nature of the audio and visual link provides a more sensitive re-entrance because classmates and school staff members are aware of any physical changes the child has experienced.
