State Agencies

Agencies that coordinate statewide human services need an I&R system that is robust, yet flexible. You want tools that make it easy for stakeholders to update the centralized database, without losing their local identity-tools sufficiently integrated for tracking among multiple sites.

A good statewide system should be able to offer its citizens a single port of entry for information searches. Accessibility and usability are also important. And your system must be able to function smoothly in the face of natural disasters or terrorist attacks.

No wonder more and more states are catching on to Resource House-the system that anticipates the unique needs of government, based on years of experience. From our earliest days, North Light has consulted with states and foundations on human service delivery reform. We keep an eye on the future, continually updating Resource House to match the pace of cutting edge technology. And North Light actively solicits requirements, suggestions and feedback from all our clients, incorporating the best of them into our base product.

These are just some of the differences that make Resource House uniquely responsive to the needs and challenges of state human service agencies.

The Bottom Line

Resource House consolidates your statewide database in a single, user-friendly application that provides both universal access and system-wide tracking-with no compromise on security or control. So Resource House actually improves service delivery by expanding your information base and promoting collaboration, while allowing for local flavor among your stakeholders.

Security

In case of natural disasters or terrorist attack, your system has to remain 100% functional and reliable. With its Web-Windows hybrid platform and regional/statewide data redundancy, Resource House can ensure uninterrupted service under pressure.

  • Natural disaster. Your statewide database is physically backed up—automatically—at every I&R office in the system. So redundant copies of the database are distributed statewide.
  • Physical terrorist attacks. The same automated redundancy feature protects your data from unnatural disasters, too.
  • Cyber-terrorism. Each I&R hub has a complete, redundant, synchronized copy of the statewide database that can run indefinitely offline, via Windows. So even disruption of the Internet itself can't compromise your Information and Referral data.
