St. Louis, MO / April 28, 2009 - Last October, GVT launched a pilot with a select group of users to test their new mobile tech application with various users of their child welfare and juvenile justice software. Because of the resounding success of the program - the new application went LIVE last week.

Results from the beta pilot were consistent. Prior to using the technology, the user group had suffered from what many case workers deal with everyday… a backlog of cases, limited resources, asked to do more with less and no solid set of tools to help. The group wanted a more streamlined and real-time way to collect case notes, review cases and share information back with management at the home office.

Historically, the user group had been typically collecting case notes in a note pad - and typing the information back into the system at a later time - from their notes or from memory. The inherent pitfalls were obvious enough (items lost or forgotten, growing backlog of case management, etc.,)

Here are some of the comments and benefits the team received and discussed during the pilot. "We can now enter client information and observations, as they occur. We can inform our team of changes to a client's situation instantly from our mobile devices." Another comment referenced a renewed sense of real productivity when it comes to eliminating repetitive work... "I no longer take notes in a notebook and have to wait to return to the office to update client records. No more repetitive work!"

A final comment spoke of the benefits of being able to spend more quality time with clients... "I am more focused now - I'm able to spend more time in the field supervising clients, instead of watching my cases pile up." “Overall, the program was a success and we’ve received some really great comments. We're looking forward to more feedback as the program and application evolves,” remarked George Ritacco, Executive Director, Client Services at GVT.

A list of user benefits include:

• Access FAMCare® from a Windows Mobile-enabled, hand-held device (instant access to client information)
• Enter notes or important information immediately
• Communicate with the team and share findings with supervisors as observations are made in the field
• Eliminate 'repetitive' work, such as writing notes on location and then typing them into a computer later.
• Eliminate 'down-time' (enter notes from any location - at court hearings, at meetings, etc.,)
• Spend more time in the field supervising clients
