Revenues & Benefits Consultancy

We are experts in the Sx3, Academy and HBIS systems and are familiar with all leading Electronic Document Management Systems in use with Revs & Bens.

We have experience of project management, systems analysis, procurement, bidding for DWP funding, contract management, specification of requirements, migrations, writing bespoke software.
 
Analysing Problems, Finding Solutions, Getting Funding and Procurement


We will often undertake problem analysis at no cost, and take an independent look at your IT setup in Revenues and Benefits. Our proposals will vary from system adjustments, system add-ons to whole scale replacement. We have experience of all three and NEVER recommend a drastic solution, if there is a simpler, low cost alternative.

No IT solution is likely to be cheap – whether we provide the solution or we recommend purchasing resources from your existing software supplier – so we are happy to assist you in meeting the criteria needed for Performance Standards Funding – and if that isn’t possible, we will help cost justify the development within your organisation.

 
Procurement and Migration

If you want to replace your whole Revenues and Benefits system or replace / purchase an EDMS (Document Management) system, you will probably realise that procurement and project management are high risk areas. Migration is never as easy or complete as your new vendor will claim, configuration is more than just making arbitrary choices, timing the whole thing with your annual billing cycle and commitments is crucial and contingencies are absolutely essential at every stage.

We have experience of procurement of replacing Revenues and Benefits and EDMS systems, of migration from legacy systems to Oracle databases, of migrating one Oracle database to another, of project management, of writing conversion scripts and of configuration.   Our systems knowledge includes Sx3 iWorld, HBIS and Academy. We have inside information on the data structure and configuration of all these systems.

 
HBIS problems?

We have a consultant working with two London Boroughs on the HBIS system. We are authorised vendors of a low cost, incredibly flexible reporting tool for the HBIS system, known as Monarch™.  There are a lot of decisions coming up for HBIS users, as the system is replaced before 2007. Talk to independent experts.
