Creating
a dynamic Supporting People and Housing
software solution has been high
on Northwest Online's agenda this year. Over
the last 7 months we have been working with
the Novas
Group to develop a flexible and Housing
Supporting System / Key Performance system
for the - the housing and support services
organisation across its UK services.
This
system is available for Purchase or Lease
basis. The lease is based on the number of
users per month.
The
key advantages of this type of system focus
around its flexibility
and its web based
development platform. The system is capable
of running online via Internet, Intranet,
Extranet, VPN or Private Network - which eliminates
licensing costs seen with other physical software
products and means a central system amendment
or update is instantly delivered across the
network.
The
system has been designed to collate data from
regional Offices for use by the Policy &
Performance Team but its architecture would
allow this to be expanded to over 400 offices.
BESPOKE
SUPPORTING PEOPLE & HOUSING SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
Northwest
Online has now gained considerable knowledge
in the construction of housing and catering
systems through the Construction of the Novas
System and the Blue Apple Catering System.
By utilising Microsoft's .NET platform and
Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX we can now
build and deliver systems over the internet
that our comparable to desktop software applications
- but without the licensing costs.
These
systems can have tiered access levels which
allow administrators to set exactly what parts
of the system different users can access.
Key
features include the ability to add, remove
or amend almost any part of the data collection
process including controlling the
type and validity
of data collected. The ability to collect
accurate and timely data in a dynamic environment
allows administrators to set and track every
piece of information and easily respond to
staff members without the need for numerous
telephone calls and emails. System managers
have the ability to post advice about the
data entered by any staff member directly
to the staff member or post a system wide
news article informing system users within
a few seconds. They have the ability to add
Help topics next to any question and upload
useful supporting material. In addition to
these features the system can:
Accept and decline questionnaires
Track managers and system users workload and responses
Rollout new questionnaires across the system with the touch of a button
Create, store and run reports across different levels of the system and over different offices
Allow read only access to other stakeholders
The cost
savings and dynamic functionality of systems
built using these techniques make a large
number of traditional software packages look
static and outdated. Information System like
these can be expanded to cover over 500 offices
by non - technical internal staff
members without any additional
license fees and it can be done in a matter
of seconds.
