Yellahoose retained by Crossroads for Women for clinical system upgrade

June 2008 - Yellahoose has been retained by Crossroads for Women to assist with the migration of its clinical assessment system to software developed by Anasazi Software of Phoenix, Arizona. As part of this migration Yellahoose will be working with the Crossroads' executive team to assess the agency's IT needs and direction.

The migration to Anasazi's hosted ASP solution marks a significant change for Crossroads. The agency uses a FileMaker Pro-based systems developed and maintained by in-house and contract developers, including Yellahoose, to track clinical information. But it's been clear to the agency it's outgrown FileMaker Pro's capabilities.

An internal review of their own needs for tracking clinical data, and after querying other local and national organizations providing behavioral healthcare services, led the agency to Anasazi Software. Yellahoose provided a second opinion on Anasazi's proposal to Crossroads, taking into consideration the bigger IT picture at the agency, and documenting risks to the agency when migrating to Anasazi's software.

Yellahoose will work with Anasazi's implementation staff to migrate data Crossroads identifies as critical to the agency, and it will be available to Crossroads and to Anasazi during a number of key meetings as part of Anasazi's well developed, and practiced, implementation plan.

The upgrade is planned for September 2008.

IEA Energy launch HR portal built by SlickFish Studios and Yellahoose

April 2008 - IEA Energy launched a major new addition to the Intranet presence, an HR portal, using software designed and built by SlickFish Studios and Yellahoose.



The software is specifically built to make it easy for any organization's non-technical users to add and update online documents, files, links and messages. End-users simply login, see what's recently been added to the portal, and download or view the content.

If users do not immediately see the document they're expecting, an integrated search can help them easily locate it... or browse through all the organization's documentation and information resources added to the portal.



The software was developed using PHP and PostgreSQL, but it is not tied to any specific database back-end. IEA Energy's HR portal was launched using MySQL as the database back-end. An MS SQL Server and a SQLite version are both planned.

Additionally, because some human resources services are managed for IEA by Acadia Benefits, the HR portal was integrated with Acadia's good online tools and documents.
