Laois Partnership worked with a digital development company called eConcepts over a 5 month period to develop a system from first principles. The system was developed with 5 key goals namely:
*To significantly reduce the time our staff spend writing the standard documentation by automating the preparation of such documents.
*To improve the accuracy of data as grant applications move through the various stages of the process.
*To build a tool which could digest, and interpret the cohort of applications and help the organisation see trends.
*To develop a robust and secure system which we can add additional tools onto in the future.
*To have a smooth mobile option so our staff can log key information while onsite instead of writing notes, and typing them later.
