Our raving fans
In the words of our clients…
You could take our word for it – or you could take the word of those who have worked with us. Frankly, we hope you do both.
When we met C!A, we were in a tailspin. Our caseloads increased by 35 percent, we had a massive reduction in our workforce, we were under a hiring freeze, our timeliness rates were atrocious—in some offices they were down to 28 percent. We had no resources to meet the increased demand. They came in, calm and peaceful, and gave us control over that chaos. And that office with the abysmal timeliness rates, it’s operating at 98.2 percent.
It all comes down to timeliness — how quickly you can deliver services to those who need them. That’s what our families care about, that’s what our legislators care about. With the transition to process management, we’ve turned our cycle time around. Applications that used to take 22 or 23 days to process, now take an average of 5.
