New Features for Version 7.3

 

The Refer and Alliance Network I&R Software systems are significantly enhanced for 2006.  Every module was reviewed and streamlined using the latest version of Microsoft’s Visual Studio, MS Access or SQL Server. For existing users as well as new users, Version 7.3 offers more features and enhanced processing.

 

The new 7.3 systems integrates I&R, case management,  volunteer tracking, data sharing, and HMIS processing using Windows and Web-based interfaces.

 

Refer and Alliance Network users can share data, link to central (statewide) resource and consumer databases, and send and receive service provider surveys over the Internet.  

7.3 series enhancements are the direct result of suggestions from the Refer/Alliance User Group.
