Management Information System solutions platform

A versatile Management Information System Platform
BASIS is a versatile, enterprise class management information system platform that is used at the heart of numerous business critical case, care and grant management systems.

It is in daily use as the core of a case management system for the State Pathology Department for Northern Ireland and is also used at the heart of grant management systems for Action Renewables and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.

We characterise BASIS as a solutions framework or a platform because it provides the core building blocks needed to provide a variety of case management and information management solutions, the perfect balance between a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) system and a bespoke/custom software solution.

COTS software can be deployed relatively quickly, however it is often inflexible and does not necessarily match the exact business processes or functional requirements of an organisation.  It can also be very costly to customise or extend in the future. 

On the other hand custom software systems can be built to match the exact requirements of a business and can be easily tailored to the preferences of users.  Custom software however often requires lengthy development and testing and can end up being more costly to deploy.

BASIS sits in the middle ground between COTs and custom solution.  BASIS is a tried and tested product that has undergone continuous development over the last six years and has a published roadmap for future enhancement.  BASIS enables us to offer all the advantages of a COTS system, including cost, along with flexibility to deliver a solution quickly; one which will not only meet your exact requirements but also match your expectations for efficiency and performance.
