Frustrated with the counterproductive technology and linear process used by legacy systems to support case workers in social services, Case Commons sought to create a more intuitive and holistic case management system modeled on social networking to further their mission of better serving vulnerable families and children through the use of web-based software and tools.
Case Commons came to Pivotal to build a person- and family-centric experience that contextualizes the case in terms of relationships rather than isolating it from the larger social picture. This socially-based approach makes it possible to track individual children and families over time, interact visually with collected data and share insights within the user community.
With Case Commons, Pivotal prototyped and built software to replace an unwieldy legacy system, and then used what we learned to develop a system for the State of Indiana called Casebook, which state social services personnel began using in 2012.
Case Commons CEO Kathleen Feely believes only Pivotal could have gotten the organization to such a successful product launch. “I can’t imagine how we would have succeeded with anybody but Pivotal,” she says. “Building something this complicated in less than two years is amazing, and we did it at a fraction of cost of a legacy system provider.”
