Workers no longer spend days doing the labor-intensive tasks of calculating vendor payments and preparing check requests for Finance.

After reviewing the payments calculated by the system, you can print check request vouchers immediately -- without re-handling the same data. 

DSS no doubt gets immediate, quantifiable benefits from using the system. These are significant "hard" benefits. But there are other "soft" benefits which are also probably important to you -- accurate and timely management reports. The system turns data stored in your ONECase Day Care system into information you've probably never had.

One final point. Managers report that implementing the system forces discipline and consistency into Day Care operations.
