A record breaking year

This is the last Blog for 2010. This is the time to look back at the year and see how Caseworks has developed in just 12 months.

Here is a summary of our achievements.

Four new customers signed up
A new DV module
A new Gateway Module
A new Supported Housing Module
A new Tenancy Support Module
A new Estate Management Mobile application
A new ASB mobile web site

In addition, numerous new fields and new pages in the existing modules have been added and many customers have commissioned new reports, full or partial upgrades and new correspondence.

Several milestones have been passed. We passed the 1.5 million case pages earlier in the year and are now very close to 100,000 cases entered by our 3,000 registered users. Behind the scenes we are also breaking records. The number of database tables is nudging 500, the number of customisation records has passed 50,000 and the number of Lookups has now passed 1,000.

Perhaps the most visual demonstration of the size and scope of the system is the amazing number of Transaction buttons - now numbering 570 between all of the modules.

Christmas is a time for playing with new toys, so I used my new iPad to create this Blog, and to put together a combo of some of the Transaction Buttons in the system. Have a good New Year!

A Winter Show

The Northern Housing Consortium, describes itself as "The Voice of Housing in the North" and at their conference in York in December, it certainly lived up to that label. Below is the sight which greeted exhibitors and delegates in York on 1st December.

Inside was warm and hospitable, food was excellent. Surprisingly, plenty of delegates turned up for the conferences and to see the stands. On the right is the new HUBSolutions stand, boasting "more functions than your iphone" .


Some people reading that boast may think it is a little over-the-top, but as we near the end of 2010 the rate of development of the Caseworks product has never been greater. In this year alone, we have created the Domestic Violence Module (live in Portsmouth), the Gateway Module (testing almost complete in Portsmouth), the Supported Housing Module (testing almost completed at Riverside Housing Group), the Tenancy Support Module (testing almost complete at East Durham Homes and Leeds City Council), the ASB Mobile (testing about to begin at Solihull) and a new flagship product, the Estate Management Mobile (commissioned by East Durham Homes, Hyndburn Homes and Riverside Housing Group).
