) uses solutions from Business Objects to improve client service and financial reporting. The Idaho DHW provides Idaho residents with vital health and safety programs that include child support, foster care, food stamps, Medicaid, substance abuse, and disease protection. In addition, the organization uses Business Objects to comply with federal and state-mandated reporting requirements.

The Idaho DHW is at the forefront of state social service agencies because it acts as an umbrella agency that manages all programs and services related to food support, child welfare, and public health, whereas many states break these programs into separate departments. To improve management of these diverse services, DHW employees needed access to consolidated data and a fast, easy way to analyze and act on information. The Idaho DHW selected the Business Objects BI platform to address this challenge and help DHW staff analyze overall performance, drill down into each department, and perform cross-program analysis and reporting. Business Objects helps the DHW to measure and evaluate which client population they serve, in what capacity, and the impact of its programs on clients. Gaining more overall insight into their operations enables the DHW to enhance its client programs and effectiveness.

That's why states agencies depend on Business Objects to help control Medicaid costs, understand what works and what doesn't, and better serve their citizens."
