BCHA [http://www.bcha.org.uk ] is a social care and support provider
helping vulnerable people within the community to find a way forward with
their lives, helping people off the streets, out of abuse, over skills
barriers and onto independence. The new system has enabled BCHA to develop
and improve its work practices, bringing many benefits to its service users.
For example, the streamlined new solution combines information from
different applications to provide BCHA's housing officers and tenants with
consistent and timely information, while reducing administration and support
costs.
BCHA is using iBOLT to automate the process of keeping its Intranet up
to date [http://www.magicsoftware.com/en/products/?catIDA ] with contact
names from Active Directory via a data feed to the web through its SQL
server. It has also integrated the system with its web-based SMS
application, so that iBOLT can now send text-to-mobile and text-to-voice
messages to contact staff and service users with vital updates. This is
helping to reduce rent arrears and ensure housing officers are aware of
tenants who might need extra support to manage their finances.
BCHA was introduced to iBOLT through Magic Software's involvement in
Salesforce.com's Foundation Program
[http://www.salesforce.com/company/foundation ]. As part of the program,
Magic Software's UK subsidiary offers basic package licenses of its iBOLT
business integration tool free of charge, or at 80% discount, to
Salesforce.com Foundation customers in the UK and Eire.
Paul Thompson, ICT Manager at BCHA, commented, "iBOLT
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/en/products/?catIDA ] has already exceeded
our highest hopes. We are constantly finding new ways in which iBOLT can
help us enrich the quality of our services, reduce costs and increase
efficiency"
Magic Software will be showcasing its award-winning iBOLT integration
platform at Cloudforce 2011 London
[http://web.magicsoftware.com/ukcloudforce2011.html ] on September 14 & 15 at
the Royal Festival Hall in London, UK.
