HQ Logo











With spring comes new beginnings and this spring is no different. Times are very exciting at Handel with a number of customers going live with their solutions in January and February. We are extremely excited to show our newest RiteTrack 4 Silverlight Client and have our first customers using it already. Do please take a moment and see what we have done in the past couple months.

We have also added a few new employees, as Handel continues to assist customers in increasing their efficiency, saving money, and maintaining a more profitable bottom line. As we all know, you cannot provide services if you are not able to pay the bills. When you put money toward your own customized system, you are making your organization more efficient, without having to re-train your staff on how things are done. Each dollar into a custom RiteTrack solution returns you two dollars by the end of the year.

And when you are done reading, ask yourself if your organization needs a state of the art case management system which can help save on the bottom line while also making life easier for yourself and your staff.

Let us know how we can help you.

Sincerely,

Joe Nevshemal
Vice President of Business Development

Call to Developers - Work with Silverlight 3

You have heard of Silverlight, Microsoft's new RIA (Rich Internet Application) platform. (If you have not, do check our our COO's 3 part blog regarding Silverlight located here.) We are looking for developers to get their hands on our RAD tool, Design Studio Suite, and give us feedback. We have learned many lessons about developing on Silverlight, and have incorporated those lessons into our tool. Our own internal developers and deployment staff have been using this product for almost a year now and so its time we got it into your hands.
HQ Logo

What you get out of this is a look into how to develop in Silverlight, what we have done to facilitate and quicken the development time of an enterprise application in Silverlight, and last, you get to develop your own enterprise application.Your cost is your time and your willingness to help us improve the tool through your feedback. If you are interested, contact us at the email address: info@handelit.com and put in your subject line: Silverlight Test Developer.

We'll contact you and get you set up. If you are not a developer and are reading this article, do pass it on to your IT staff or a developer friend. Next time your organization or company needs an enterprise case management solution, that developer, by taking part in this, will have your answer.
How Quick Can you Develop on the RiteTrack 4 Silverlight Platform?

HQ Logo
Our Vice President of Business Development,  Joe Nevshemal, writes about how quickly you can develop on the RiteTrack 4 Silverlight platform. As a demonstration, he talks about ConferenceTrak.
 

Every year we sponsor the cybercafe at the CWLA Conference. 2010 was no different, but this year, we wanted to try something  to show everyone how easily you could configure your own custom solution on the RiteTrack 4 Silverlight platform using our Design Studio Suite.
 
We wanted provide a great service to those who attend the conference, and about a month before the conference, we came up with ConferenceTrak. ConferenceTrak is a custom RiteTrack 4 Silverlight solution that allows you to both register for an iPod but also allows for any conference attendee to be able to select the tracks in the CWLA Conference they wish to attend and then print out a custom schedule with all the related session information.
 
Three weeks and thirty total hours of work later, we have a RiteTrack Silverlight ConferenceTrak solution, just in time for the CWLA Conference. Users at CWLA would go to an internal website, http://cwla.ritetrack.net and register. While they are there, they just click on the sessions they are looking to attend, as illustrated below.

Once you are done selecting the sessions you wish to attend, you simply click the "Print Session List" button and your custom pdf session is ready to print and take with you.

If we can do this in thirty hours, think of what we could do for one of your projects. Why spend months configuring a custom solution from the ground up when you can just take our platform and in weeks, have a final solution.

On the other hand, why buy an out of the box solution, which does not work how you do and you must spend weeks learning the new system just so you can do your job? A customized RiteTrack 4 Silverlight solution can be configured quickly and exactly to your needs. And you would spend LESS money doing it. On average, a RiteTrack 4 Silverlight customized solutions costs 35% less than an out of the box comparible product. Why pay more on an out of the box solution that doesn't work your way, will probably be replaced in three years, and forces all your employees to learn a whole new business process?

Wondering if we can create a perfect solution for you? Come and request a demo here and we'll show you what we can do.
Douglas County, Nebraska JAC goes Live with RiteTrack in January
HQ Logo Douglas County, Nebraska JAC (www.douglascounty-ne.gov/jaccms/) went live on their custom RiteTrack Juvenile Assessment system on January 1 of this year. This assessment center designed to serve as a focal point for comprehensive assessment and case management. Their JAC Specialists use RiteTrack to assess the youth's risk and manage all aspects of their case from initial interview to release and review.  All juveniles arrested or cited and released by law enforcement are brought through this assessment center and entered into RiteTrack. Through RiteTrack, they track and manage all the juveniles to provide earlier and more efficient prevention and intervention services to the juvenile when they first enter the justice system. Through excellent JAC Specialists and their efficient use of RiteTrack, they are able to impact the lives of the juveniles more positively and divert them from a path of serious delinquency.

Because RiteTrack works as they do, Douglas County, NE JAC is able to keep the same processes as before. RiteTrack just makes the processes more streamlined and has eliminated some of the major pain points dealing with double entry, keeping staff notified of next actions in a case, as well as maintaining a robust reporting for their administrators and staff. The security they have in place limits information as needed, but does it in a way that is not intrusive nor cumbersome to their work. Plus, with RiteTrack, their solution grows with them, and never becomes "legacy" or "old". As they change, their RiteTrack solution changes with them. No longer do they have to replace their "old" system because RiteTrack will always work the way they do.
Ways to Work Brands their RiteTrack 4 Silverlight Solution
HQ LogoAs we have written about before, Ways to Work has gone Live on our latest RiteTrack 4 Silverlight Client. They wanted to brand their RiteTrack solution and established that their program would be called "Greenlight". Why "Greenlight" you ask? Ways to Work provides loans to individuals who need to acquire transportation to get to work. "Greenlight" was chosen because through the use of their customized RiteTrack 4 Silverlight solution, they are able to easily track, process, and manage individuals to get these loans. This solution allows them to provide a green light to those individuals to become self sufficient and get to work for their own and families' success.

Learn more about Ways to Work and their solution by going to their website, www.waystowork.com or read our news release regarding them going Live here.
