The Specific Expertise
Three specific court-technology platforms anchor this practice. The expertise is hands-on, production-grade, and continuous since 2017.
- OnBase Cloud Services — Hyland's cloud-hosted edition of the OnBase ECM platform. Architecture, migration from on-prem, workflow configuration, Unity Forms, Document Composition, security baseline. 9+ years of engagement work at Michigan court-technology firms.
- MiFile — Michigan State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) e-filing platform. Integration, submission automation, case-type code remediation, service-contact validation, filing-rejection diagnostics, AI-augmented batch filing. 9+ years.
- TrueFiling — Tyler Technologies' national e-filing platform used by Michigan, California, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and 20+ additional US states. Integration, EFSP partner enablement, document metadata mapping, multi-state rollout. 9+ years.
Why This Expertise Is Hard to Find
The market for OnBase Cloud Services, MiFile, and TrueFiling consultants is structurally constrained. Three reasons:
- Vendor employees can't consult independently. Engineers inside Hyland or Tyler Technologies operate under employment agreements that preclude independent vendor-neutral consulting. They can implement; they can't advise.
- Generalist consultants don't accumulate platform depth. EFSP platforms require continuous hands-on work to maintain familiarity with submission APIs, case-type code structures, and filing-rejection patterns. A six-month engagement doesn't produce that depth.
- 9 continuous years (since 2017) is rare. AppWT's founder Tony Paris has worked across all three platforms since 2017, accumulating institutional knowledge of how MiFile and TrueFiling actually behave under production load, edge cases, and SCAO/Tyler updates.
What an AppWT Engagement Looks Like
- Focused audit ($50,000 - $75,000) — Single-system review. Example: MiFile rejection remediation audit. Inventory of rejection patterns over the past 12 months, root-cause classification, remediation roadmap.
- Integration engagement ($100,000 - $250,000) — OnBase Cloud Services migration, MiFile submission automation, TrueFiling EFSP partner enablement, or a court website + payment portal build.
- Full platform engagement ($250,000 - $500,000+) — Multi-system implementation with workflow rebuild, Unity Forms redesign, AI-augmented intake, and ongoing managed operations.
- Advisory retainer ($4,997/month) — Monthly platform-architecture office hours, configuration review, and procurement support for court IT directors who need a vendor-neutral expert on retainer.

What is the difference between MiFile and TrueFiling?
MiFile is Michigan's state-court electronic filing system managed by the Michigan State Court Administrative Office (SCAO). TrueFiling is Tyler Technologies' commercial e-filing platform used by courts across multiple US states. Both accept court filings electronically, but they differ in case-type code structure, service-contact formatting, document metadata requirements, and integration APIs. AppWT has hands-on engineering experience with both, continuous since 2017.
What is OnBase Cloud Services?
OnBase Cloud Services is Hyland's cloud-hosted edition of the OnBase Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform — used by courts, government agencies, healthcare systems, and large institutions to capture, store, route, and retrieve documents at scale. The cloud edition replaces on-premises OnBase deployments with Hyland-managed infrastructure. AppWT consults on architecture, migration from on-prem, workflow configuration, Unity Forms, and Document Composition with 9+ years of hands-on production experience.
Does AppWT serve courts and law firms outside Michigan?
Yes. MiFile is Michigan-specific, but TrueFiling operates nationally across 20+ US states and OnBase Cloud Services is used by enterprises worldwide. AppWT delivers court e-filing consulting nationally with the same 9+ year credential. Engagement scopes range from $50,000 to $500,000+ per engagement, with advisory retainers starting at $4,997 per month.
How much does OnBase Cloud Services consulting cost at AppWT?
AppWT's court-technology engagements are typically scoped from $50,000 for a focused single-system review (e.g. a MiFile rejection remediation audit) up to $500,000+ for a full OnBase Cloud migration with workflow rebuild and Unity Forms redesign. Smaller advisory retainers start at $4,997/month. See court-efiling engagement tiers for details.
