Bangalore: WOLF Frameworks, a Cloud Computing, Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) venture, is now the official support for Social Education and Development Society (SEDS)- an NGO based in the drought-prone Anantpur district of Andhra Pradesh. SEDS has developed back office SaaS solution called Census Information Management Solution (CIMS), using WOLF based SaaS platform that generates Unique Identification Number (UID) for more than 40,000 users.

Due to the lack of a suitable IT solution in the past, SEDS utilized a disconnected system consisting of standalone database and several spreadsheets for collecting data. Sunny Ghosh, CEO, WOLF Communications explained, "Manual methods for data analysis were time consuming and error prone and the size of their master repository runs into millions too. WOLF took up the challenge of providing a complete online SaaS solution for it."

SEDS' operations consist of conducting different development programmes dealing with women empowerment, environment restoration, education, health, HIV/AIDS awareness and Clean Development Mechanism which are followed up by regular surveys. These surveys track real-time population, resource and programme statistics and a road-map of how their programme is working, the channelization of funds/efforts and the resultant success or failure of programmes.

"We have been serving rural population and under developed community for the past 30 years. To this successfully, we rely on data, its relationships and analytics heavily. We did door-to-door surveys. WOLF Platform helped in quick automation, secured access with statistics and the ability to generate UID for more than 40,000 members' database. This information will now help us and our donors to serve each and every individual with better products to improve their livelihood," said Manil Jayasena Joshua, CEO, SEDS.

WOLF partnered SEDS to create CIMS, a customized web based 128-bit secured SaaS solution that captures SEDS data and one specific programme process uniquely and generates analytical reports. CIMS allows SEDS to collect and relate-consolidate data into a central repository and automates the process of data analysis, presenting reports and charts on different metrics at the click of a button. It also generates UID which helps to locate and track individual data. CIMS also brings visibility to SEDS through auto-emails, alerts, RSS feeds and publishing content on the web.

Sunny Ghosh stressed on the need to make IT available to untapped sections. He added that CIMS has multiple benefiters-technologies, SEDS, donors, census and the government.
