Integration of World-Class Technologies Will Improve Agency Decision
Making
HERNDON, VA., May 1 /CNW/ - Curam Software, the leading provider of
Social Enterprise Management (SEM) software solutions, today announced a
Global Strategic Partnership with Cognos, the world leader in business
intelligence and performance management solutions. Utilizing integrated Curam
Software and Cognos application functionality, government social enterprises -
such as workforce services, health and human services, and social security
agencies - can better manage programs to ensure desired outcomes. For example,
workforce services agencies can understand and optimize how their programs
perform in accelerating citizens' return into the workforce.
Under the partnership, Curam Software and Cognos will continuously
optimize their platforms so that social enterprises can take full advantage of
the rich dashboards and analytical features available in Cognos, while
accessing comprehensive social enterprise information from their Curam
Software environment. The combination of these world-class technologies will
deliver a seamless experience to agencies, empowering them to unify and
present information on a single dashboard.
Utilizing a Cognos dashboard powered by Curam Software, case workers can
access mission-critical data in a timely manner in order to improve service
delivery and view metrics for tracking cost and performance, such as a trend
analysis across cases, clients, and program areas. Agencies benefit from a
complete view of services delivered across departments - empowering executives
with the visibility they need to make operational decisions while complying
with Federal mandates. Social enterprises can leverage the flexible business
management product enterprise-wide, allowing case managers to tear down silos
and work across agency and program boundaries. Case workers gain new insight
to define benefit and service plans to achieve better long-term performance
outcomes.
"Improved service delivery and an outcome-focused approach is quickly
becoming the mandate across social enterprises," said Ernie Connon, president,
Curam Software. "This Cognos partnership provides social enterprises with the
ability to unlock data to enable effective decision making and improved
service delivery."
"The Curam Software/Cognos partnership provides social enterprises with
the increased visibility they require to make more strategic decisions and
ensure they achieve better outcomes for citizens," said Terence Atkinson,
director of government and education solutions, Cognos. "Combining Cognos'
industry-leading insights in BI and performance management with Curam
Software's expertise in SEM will give agencies the ability to leverage
existing investments to provide a comprehensive view of the case management
process and the most current information to those involved."
