Headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, Northwoods develops software that solves the issues faced by Human Services professionals everyday and provides the services agencies need to get the most out of their Compass Software® solutions. Our Compass Software suite of products is designed specifically to serve Human Services agencies. From electronic document management to facilitating the flow of clients through the agency, Northwoods is helping agencies across the United States function more efficiently and cost effectively.
An independent researcher recently found that Northwoods solutions can save each case manager at an agency up to two hours per workday, while providing instant access to case documents and improved communications among staff. Agencies report a reduction in mail received, as much as 50%, due to better tracking and organization eliminating the need for clients to send and resend the same documents. In addition, agencies often regain space previously devoted to file storage and experience substantially reduced costs associated with printers and copiers, as well as for paper, toner, and other supplies.
The following companies have graciously sponsored our 2010 Spring Conferences.
