BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwire - May 28, 2009) - Social Solutions, the leading provider of
performance management software for the human service sector, today
announced the launch of ETO Community, a new web-based, subscription
service designed specifically for human service agencies. The first
collaborative human service environment, ETO Community allows for the
aggregation of information from disparate agencies and data systems for
more effective and efficient service delivery.
With less funding available in today's economic environment and an increase
in demand for human services, community leaders must maximize their
resources to best meet the needs of their constituents. ETO Community
enables leaders to make better decisions by providing greater visibility
into the various aspects of service provision, including:
- Who is receiving service
- What services are offered and from what locations
- The number of people receiving service and with what frequency
The collection of such information will help communities identify service
gaps and discover opportunities for collaboration, creating a more
effective human services ecosystem.
"In these difficult times, it is crucial that communities maximize their
use of available resources to help those in need," said Steve Butz, founder
and president of Social Solutions. "ETO Community provides access to the
information that is essential in managing the performance of an entire
community of services."
Entities seeking to manage performance across a community, such as city and
county governments and public and private funders, will benefit from ETO
Community's ability to help:
- Measure efforts and outcomes across a portfolio of service providers
- Leverage service providers in addressing participant and family needs
- Tabulate the number of unique participants and families served
- Compare programs on the basis of important metrics, including time
spent and demonstrable progress
Founded by human service workers, Social Solutions seeks to revolutionize
the effectiveness of human service organizations by helping them align
their missions, funders' expectations, and the daily work of their staffs.
ETO Software is currently in place in several thousand organizations across
the United States.
