Startup Idea: Integrated Software Solution for Social Services

Startup idea to develop an integrated software solution to help consolidate different databases in social services. The aim is to help cut down paperwork and streamline processes by creating one unified system where all data can be inputted and accessed, improving productivity and efficiency. This solution would eliminate the need for multiple, non-communicating systems.

I work in social services. We have a lot of paperwork and now that everything is virtual, we have to input ALL of the same information in different databases because none of the databases "speak" to each other. Currently I work in a school and we use ATS and then we also use google docs for case notes. There is another system that will be incorporated soon as well. The agency is still in the process of fixing it up so that we no longer will use google docs for case notes, however we were already informed that it will not communicate with ATS which is a problem. We have so much paperwork and then we have so many clients and if we could cut down on which software we use, it would really cut down on the paperwork. Even in other social work professions outside of school, this is a common complaint I have heard. There needs to be one place where everything gets connected. Almost like how I can connect my one email to the other so I get all my emails sent to my main email address.

I would hope my agency would pay for it, however I would not because then if I am the only one to have it and spend the money on something that my agency does not approve of then I would have wasted my own money.
