More than soccer and samba PGE Digital, a successful CakePHP project in Rio de Jan
summary
CakePHP based web app replaces paper case tracking with a 150‑table SQL Server schema reflected in Entities, using Events to auto-create and bind cases and Commands for nightly SOAP integrations with tribunals. Deployments reach ~3,000 users across 9 courts, ingest ~2 million summons and produce ~14 million documents, yielding a 98% reduction in paper. APCu caching (plan to move to Redis), custom pagination UI, and a Python "Levi" classifier automate case distribution.
