So long static reports.

Static reports can only take analysis and reporting so far. Questions arise, another report is needed, more time devoted to report creation, and a lag or lack of information results. Frustration.

Workforce Development administrators and program managers need to know what's happening, when they want to know. They need to know facts about who is being served. What's working? Why? Where are the best practices? Who's having trouble? For what group of people? More questions than ever at a time when we need answers, quickly. Not only do they need to know to manage their programs, but so do their Boards.

Performance Matters Plus contains application features and services to help get you the answers...easily, efficiently, and accurately. Access Performance Matters Plus right from your desktop using a common Web browser.

Instantly view a report that you've configured using drag and drop ad hoc reporting features or use a report that another user has shared. Build another to answer that next question by drilling into data by any of the WIASRD, LEPR or TAPR data elements. If it's data you collect, Performance Matters Plus makes it easy for you to utilize in analysis and reporting.

Slice and dice to get to details of data to see what's behind those performance metrics.

Share what you know with others, even those without a password, using the Dashboard Application. Let them see and interact with your performance data the way you can. Inspire dialogue around performance; seek answers together.

Monthly data load services, data warehousing and validation, application deliver, maintenance, and upgrades and keeping up with USDOL changes that impact performance monitoring and reporting are all our responsibility and part of the application service. It's software as an application service and cloud computing. You just login. It's that simple.

Print, Save and export to Excel to manage what you discover. Set up favorite data views. Configure and save those monthly management reports for quick, instant access. Be confident that the workforce development data you see is the same as what the rest of the team sees. Everyone is talking from the same version of the truth. It's now easier for everyone to acquire workforce intelligence together whether it's at the state, workforce board or one-stop/youth provider levels.

It's software as a service for Workforce Development.

All too often, software providers leave you with just the tool. You might have a great tool, but what happened to the support? Is there someone behind it? Someone who really understands what you do and how it will help you do your job? Is it a tool that has been specifically designed, developed and delivered to directly meet the needs of your organization?

Performance Matters Plus includes an array of services specifically designed to support you and your team and your use of the Performance Matters Plus Web application. Your Performance Matters Plus application is fully hosted and maintained by the FutureWorks team and all updates and upgrades are included at no additional expense to you. As longtime workforce development professionals, we understand what it means to provide top class technical assistance. With all the twists and turns with changing performance requirements in the workforce system and changing priorities, our job is to provide the extra services of monitoring these changes, adjusting the Performance Matters Plus application and services to meet them and making sure you have what you need in a decision support system to effectively manage performance, uninterrupted. We understand that with the application must come the assistance to capitalize on it's power to deliver critical information to inform workforce development administrators, managers and policy makers.

Ask our clients. They'll tell you that how we deliver and support the application is just as important as the application itself.

Affordable and No Risk. Joy!

By providing Performance Matters Plus as an application service, everyone enjoys the savings. You save on risk. No IT hardware or software investments. No ongoing updates, maintenance or user troubleshooting. A subscription is the only requirement and you can cancel with 90 days notice.

Increasingly, government agencies are turning to cloud computing and software as a a service (SaaS) for efficiency and to save on limited resources (read a recent USA Today article here). As a matter of fact, what we do is in direct alignment with the President's push for greater efficiency in government IT using Cloud computing. We've been delivering Performance Matters to Workforce Development over the cloud for over a decade, passing along all the IT savings to our state and Workforce Board clients so they can do more to serve their communities.

Not only do you benefit from economies of scale pricing, but also on the tool's evolution as impacted by other subscribers. As other areas invest in customized features, you benefit. New features are automatically available to you. And customizations built into your system don't impact your monthly subscription fee.

Our implementation isn't your typical software implementation...which, as we all know, can be scary. In as little as 30 days your Performance Matters Plus site is up and running and your team is experiencing on-site training by the FutureWork Systems team.

Pricing is based on the transaction volume for your area. Please contact us for further details. We'd be pleased to provide a subscription proposal.
