Designing Success provides a complete array of services to ensure that you get the most out of your Tracking At-A-Glance® (TAAG) software.
Implementation
At Designing Success, our implementation plans begin even before the signatures reach the paper. Based on what you told us about your needs, we begin preliminary planning on the best strategy to ensure a seamless implementation. In most cases Tracking At-A-Glance® can be up and running within 48 hours.
How do we do this? At Designing Success, we understand that the overall purpose is to help you help the people you serve. Because our system is flexible and modular, we can offer many options in implementing your Tracking At-A-Glance® system based on what is best for your organization.
We have successfully implemented systems in over eighty housing, disaster, workforce development and non-profit organizations nationwide. Moreover, we recognize that each implementation is unique in its own way. We look forward to implementing your Tracking At-A-Glance® system in the near future.
Training/Consulting
From the start of your implementation, our training team is in contact with your organization. They work with your staff to prepare a customized training curriculum in order to lay a strong foundation on which to build skill acquisition for the entire staff.
Our training includes a customization component directed towards agency administrators. During this portion of the training, participants become skilled at utilizing the customization methods available for all areas of the application. The centerpiece of our training curriculum is the comprehensive walk-through of the entire Tracking At-A-Glance® application. During this session, we take the users through the complete intake process including adding or importing an individual, needs and risk assessments, planning, referrals and milestones, and work history.
As we demonstrate in training the extensive array of information tracked, we also emphasize the application’s robust reporting capabilities. This gives users the ability to search, report or export any information in the system. Other features that are highlighted include ease of entry and access to case notes, activity tracking, grant reporting, form letter creation and mail merge, address label printing, document storage and retrieval and appointment tracking.
Our curriculum also includes hands-on sessions for all users that enables them to put their newly attained knowledge to use. At Designing Success we are conscious of your dollars. We will at times recommend online training as opposed to on-site, depending on the number of users to be trained and the material to be covered.
Training Webinars
Designing Success conducts monthly training webinars on a variety of topics related to the Tracking At-A-Glance® software. The webinars serve as a great supplemental and continuing training tool for new and seasoned staff to learn more about TAAG. Subscribers receive training on areas such as Resident Record, New Program Features, Corporate Customization, and much more. The webinars are conducted remotely and users can participate from any location. The webinars are also archived on each client’s site so they can be viewed anytime and anywhere.

We boast a response time of between 5 and 15 minutes on most requests.
Custom Programming
One of the ways that Designing Success stands out is that, when our users speak, we listen. We welcome and encourage user recommendations and suggestions for additions, revisions and improvements to the application.
We often incorporate user suggestions into the application whenever they prove to be a value-added enhancement. And, of course, there is never a charge for this service, just a sincere thank-you for your contribution.
Occasionally, there may be a need for custom programming specific to the organization. In these instances, we offer full custom programming services. Our team works with you to identify the need and the scope of the project, explore all possible solutions, and then design, develop and implement the ideal solution.
