How We Work
Enterprise-level software design and development
We build flexible, scalable applications with the user's needs in mind.
- We start by asking questions and listening closely to the needs of our clients.
- Our solutions combine a pleasing user experience with strong back-end performance and stability.
- We build on an open architecture to allow for future flexibility and extensibility.
- We use the Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Core for projects large and small. This allows us to build applications on a solid, world-class foundation while maintaining control and flexibility.
- Our applications are scalable and web-based, providing easy and reliable access across organizations nationwide.
User-friendly reports and dashboards
We provide instant access to meaningful data.
- We’ve been building dynamic, automated reports for over 15 years.
- Our custom dashboards and complex automated reports can calculate statistics, analyze data, and provide content-specific charts, graphs, or narratives automatically.
- We help clients design reports that are useful to them, drawing on our extensive background in data analysis.
Accessible applications and data collection forms
We remove barriers to collecting data.
- We create applications that meet or exceed Web Content Accessibility 2.0 Guidelines.
- Our online data collection forms are designed to be mobile-responsive so data can be collected consistently across browsers and devices.
Automated data transfer
Our custom-built data transfer and ETL apps retrieve and process data automatically.
- We create solutions that enable two-way data transfer and outcome reporting.
- We have the expertise to integrate with a wide variety of external systems.
- PDA-Exchange, our in-house eReferral application, processes electronic referrals from hospitals, clinics, and county health departments and routes them to the appropriate service provider.
Security and privacy
Our secure technical and administrative safeguards protect clients’ data at all times.
- We custom build all software and don’t use third parties for data handling.
- Our databases are stored in our onsite data center. We always know where our clients’ data rests.
- We do regular security audits to ensure compliance with data security best practices.
