Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County sought a way to efficiently manage the data coming in from its many programs, which include Head Start, Utility Assistance, and RMO, to name just a few. The non-profit needed the ability to see how many “unduplicated” clients were being served. But this proved difficult since each program and its data existed in separate databases, and clients were required to enter their profile data every time they applied for assistance or enrolled in a program.
