Disabilities

Agencies serving persons with developmental disabilities (DD) makeup Danic’s largest market in the United States. In part this is because DD agencies in the Northeast were the first to install Danic in the U.S. and Danic’s growth has always come largely from word-of-mouth advertising.

In part it’s because Danic Tools is an especially good fit for DD agencies. Danic databases are built around the individual not the service. Danic databases can be mapped to widely varying agency programs and procedures. Danic databases readily accommodate changes in external requirements. All of the data input to Danic Systems can be accessed by query and report. Danic functions and features are those particularly useful and cost beneficial to agencies in the DD industry.

Danic is built around the individual, making individual planning, tracking and budgeting a breeze. Nearly all agency management software (software with functionality beyond case management) available in the DD industry today is built around units or episodes of service. This confounds and limits the ability of the software to support the individually-centered planning, budgeting, managing and reporting of information required of many if not most DD agencies currently.

Danic is flexible enough to handle the many different types of individuals served, types of services and supports provided, and related administrative and billing requirements faced by the growing number of “multi-service” agencies. Danic is flexible enough to be changed by the agencies themselves in tune with the ever-changing demands of federal, state, county and private administrative and funding organizations.

As a true object-relational database with a comprehensive data query and reporting engine, agencies can extract from the database whatever they put in, and can do so with extensive formatting options and at far less time and expense than the common relational applications and archaic flat file applications available today.

Danic offers functions commonly needed by DD agencies including: client management, human resources, fund raising, billing / receivables and manufacturing. Danic’s universal XML bridge equips it to ancor an integrated, agency-wide system—a system able to link Danic and other agency software serving these and other functions, a system where data need be entered once and only once.
