RESTON, Va., June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation
(NYSE: UIS) today announced the global availability of
FamilyNow™, a comprehensive, next-generation, case management
software solution that helps government social services agencies
protect children at risk. With FamilyNow, social services agencies
can apply new technologies to manage caseloads and identify the
right services to address each family's situation.
FamilyNow features modules for solving the problems of families
in need – intake, investigation, case management, eligibility,
financial management, provider management and administration – to
make it easier for case workers to take action and improve
outcomes. FamilyNow was built for child and adult protective
services and also can be used to support community mental health
and juvenile justice programs.
"In recent years, the needs of children and seniors have grown
in complexity and scale, while budget constraints have made it
difficult for social services workers to address those needs," said
Mark Forman, global head of Public
Sector at Unisys. "FamilyNow gives workers the automation and
modern tools they need to manage large caseloads and improve
decision-making and effectively collaborate, resulting in faster
and better resolution of crisis situations and prevention of
tragedies."
FamilyNow is now available globally. It includes secure mobile
applications, which are easy to use across multiple devices,
enabling workers to capture, submit and analyze the critical data
they need to do their jobs from anywhere and at any time. The
solution also provides features to address dangerous situations,
such as a panic button and geo-locator that can alert authorities
if the safety of a field worker is threatened.
In addition, FamilyNow features advanced analytics and modeling
to provide fact-based recommendations on a case-by-case basis to
help workers make informed and expedited decisions. Configurable
dashboards and analytics also provide key information for employees
at all levels of the agency to continuously improve outcomes. The
solution's cloud-based, service-oriented architecture makes it easy
for clients to adapt as social needs change or government policies
and industry practices evolve.
"There still are too many stories of children or others who
suffer because of systems failures, lack of collaboration, or other
preventable situations. With FamilyNow, social services
organizations will be able to modernize quickly without the
failures and cost overruns of the rip-and-replace mega application
approach. The result is that children and seniors can be better
protected from danger," said Forman.
