Benefits<br />

Since introducing the web-based portal, field staff<br />

have been able <strong>to</strong> enter the results from <strong>their</strong> child<br />

correspondence directly in<strong>to</strong> the database. This has<br />

provided The Place2Be instant access <strong>to</strong> regional<br />

and national results.<br />

The Place2Be is already benefitting from a much quicker<br />

turnaround on statistics and in 5 years’ time the project<br />

will have paid for itself.<br />

“<br />

The <strong>ThoughtWorks</strong> team were incredibly<br />

responsive <strong>to</strong> our <strong>needs</strong>. They unders<strong>to</strong>od our<br />

business requirements and that speeding up<br />

our data capturing process was vital <strong>to</strong> the<br />

charity. They also unders<strong>to</strong>od that it had <strong>to</strong><br />

be cost effective <strong>to</strong> our business and that our<br />

staff would need extensive training schemes<br />

in place.<br />

The Future<br />

The charity will review other areas of the business that<br />

can be updated in the coming years, but for now, are<br />

happy with the web application.<br />

“<br />

We are delighted with how this project<br />

has worked out. Originally we expected some<br />

resistance <strong>to</strong> the project but our field staff<br />

have been extremely receptive <strong>to</strong> the new<br />

technology. In fact, there has been such a<br />

positive outcome <strong>to</strong> the rollout that we have<br />

been asked <strong>to</strong> extend the service <strong>to</strong> other<br />

paperwork areas of <strong>their</strong> job roles.<br />
