Client: Guelph-Wellington Business Enterprise Centre
Executive Summary:
This case study describes the development, by Sandbox Software Solutions, of a
custom software solution that facilitated client and process management for a government-sponsored
small business development program. The solution facilitated client intake into
the SEB program, created a database of resources to support each client (events,
seminars, etc.), dynamically created a program plan for each individual client,
tracked performance of each client vs established milestones, stored all documents
associated with each client, allowed advisors to directly keep minutes of each client
meeting in the database and created a substantial reporting engine that allowed
on-demand generation of a variety of different reports, including those required
by the program’s government sponsor, with Acrobat .PDF exporting capabilities. The
development and deployment of this solution, and its fit to the business process
and environment, is explained.
