Intelladon Delivers New Standard for Government Training
11/30/2003
Tampa, FL – Intelladon Corporation, the nationally recognized pacesetter and developer of highly interactive and user-friendly learning management systems, today announced the deployment of the Integrated Social Services Information (ISSI) system; a comprehensive training program for more than 1,200 social services case workers and employees throughout North Carolina’s Mecklenberg County.
Intelladon designed, developed, and implemented a total of 25 custom technology-based training courses—creating a sophisticated case management system and massive training program—hailed by Mecklenburg County officials as a new model for hundreds of other counties to follow.
Intelladon created this immense training solution for the county’s social services staff from scratch. With no formal existing curriculum in place, Intelladon counselors interviewed subject matter experts, integrated existing materials and established content specs and educational benchmarks. Instructional designers transcribed and restructured the cumulative content into a complete, simplified, consistent and unified series of 25 courses. Intelladon’s team of training architects, multi-media designers and programming engineers integrated each course into its award-winning learning platform for an interactive and user-friendly Web-based delivery.
The Intelladon team completed the entire project in 16 weeks (from the initial interviews required to develop content, to the final Web-based delivery of all 25 courses).
“Intelladon created a system that improves quality, increases productivity and capacity, and reduces direct costs for Mecklenburg County,” said Robert L. Wilson, ISSI Program Manager Mecklenburg County Information Services and Technology. “Government estimates suggest the ISSI will pay for itself in roughly three years and save the County of Mecklenburg $9,992,774 over the lifetime of the system.”
North Carolina state officials are currently reviewing the ISSI, and considering adopting the platform for use in the other 99 counties within the state.
The Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services (DSS) is located in Charlotte, NC. The county has a population of 773,000, which is approximately 10% of the population of North Carolina. DSS is responsible for the administration of many programs, including Work First Family Assistance, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Employment Services, Services for Older Adults and people with disabilities, Adult and Children Protective Services, Foster Care, and Adoption services, and many more key, critical programs.
