WiredIn offers two levels of decision support modules.

WiredIn National allows WIRED Regions to get the big picture of what's been happening within the workforce development landscape by tapping into national WIA activity for PY 05 and 06. WiredIn National is web-based and can be accessed from anywhere at anytime using a common web browser. WiredIn is hosted, managed and operated from FutureWork's owned and operated data center.

Using the WiredIn National decision support application you can:

• Identify how resources are used in your region
• Understand baseline common measures data for negotiation and renegotiation of accountability metrics with ETA
• Make sound policy decisions based on targeting and service mix
• Present customized benchmarking information to policy boards and operators
• Negotiate performance measures with ETA based on actual data
• Understand the impact of proposed common measures on your region
• Inform your strategic planning efforts.
  

WiredIn Plus is a more robust decision support module for WIRED Regions. The application includes the WiredIn National module, but also includes a module for analyzing current performance data for your region. Data is loaded quarterly from transaction system data where you can analyze the services and characteristics of currently enrolled, see your most current outcome data and tap into an interactive and shareable dashboard for managing and montoring quarterly performance metrics beyond the required Common Measures.

WiredIn Plus is ideal for ongoing performance management and analysis of WIRED Regional data for those served, keeping policymakers informed during policy and program decision making.
