VisionLink's CommunityOS software suite has become the system of record for disaster shelter management, client tracking, case management, and inter-agency collaboration.
Coordinated Assistance Network (CAN) built on CommunityOS technology Today, CommunityOS manages information for a national network of more than 50,000 shelters, millions of client records and hundreds of relief organizations across the entire United States. The forward thinking leaders of more than 300 independent agencies and organizations have joined together as the Coordinated Assistance Network, (CAN), built on CommunityOS technology.
Chosen for KAT-Katrina Aid Today CommunityOS offers scaleable capacity, as for the thousands of case managers of KAT-Katrina Aid Today; flexible client intake tools and customizable workflow, as for the U.S. Administration for Children and Families; and it offers unmatched reliability. Indeed, from the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, CommunityOS became known as "the one system that did not fail." From intake data, to mapping tools, to performance measures and outcomes--and from hand held, to off-line, to web-based solutions, Tapestry constantly succeeds, and constantly evolves.
National Disaster Response organizations depend on CommunityOS Organizations such as the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, FEMA, Lutheran Disaster Response, the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, United Methodists Active in Disaster, United Way of America and others depend on, invest in, and collaborate through the tapestry of tools able to re-weave communities after disaster. These and other organizations understand the need to coordinate service, leverage donor dollars, and eliminate fraud.
Easy-to-use tools for customization and communication CommunityOS offers content management systems for planning and communications, resource referral, volunteer and donor modules for response, client and service tracking for coordination, and short and long-term case management tools for recovery. The key, however, is that each partner organization can build tools as it needs, while still participating in multi-agency partnerships.
Unparalled support for data standards and compliance CommunityOS also offers unparalled support for data standards and exchange services. VisionLink offers XML data validators for the AIRS XML Resource data standard, and for the CAN client data standard as well, so that vendors and agencies can test their data for compliance at no cost.
Choose the industry leader CommunityOS also offers 2-1-1, elder care, homelessness, foster care, and other sector specific solutions. This means that communities can deploy the same solution for day-to-day needs as for disaster planning and response. This way, the solutions most needed during disasters are exercised every day, and the data is constantly updated and ready should it be needed.
