 Harmony Information Systems is a leader in its field. Founder Tonya Harmon and her team saw the need for a Web-based software application for information management in human service agencies that would help organizations respond to the agency needs of the 21st century. Harmony delivers on this promise by providing outstanding tools to manage a variety of complex programs and services that are unique to the human services field.
Harmony offers an approach to application software that is very different from standard applications that often attempt to force a rigid business approach onto the human services model that needs to remain flexible to work effectively. They offer a product suite that benefits an organization and its end users equally by combining the flexibility of an application built “from the ground up” with the convenience, cost efficiency and ease of implementation of a commercial off-the-shelf product.
Ms. Harmon, who is the founder of the company and an original developer of Harmony, brings a unique perspective to the business, combining 20 years of experience using and developing enterprise-wide relational database applications in human services and other industries balanced with over 25 years working and volunteering in social service programs. She also brings a commitment to the use of Web-based technologies to advance the product line technically.
The great success of the Harmony product line in the market created interest in adding more Business Intelligence functionality to the suite. While the company considered an internal project to achieve this objective, Harmony chose to examine the possibility of partnering with an established BI vendor to accelerate the process and take advantage of BI industry experience. This resulted in a rigorous evaluation process that led to LogiXML, Inc.
“The key consideration was to add powerful reporting and analysis capability without slowing down our efforts to deliver even more human services functionality to our product,” notes Harmon. “However, it was critical for us to find a partner that shares our core values of Web-based deployment and that also offers depth of Business Intelligence functionality. LogiXML was able to meet and exceed our objectives on both counts.”
“The process of managing Human Services activities results in a significant amount of information suited for analysis. The ability to generate reports helps our customers gain additional insights into this information, and that adds a great deal of value to our offering. The breadth and depth of the Logi 8 platform supports everything from simple graphs and charts to dynamic dashboarding and ad hoc reporting. Those features provide us with many options for enhancing Harmony products.”
“We were also impressed that the business philosophy of LogiXML and Harmony are so strongly aligned around delivering value to customers. Technically speaking, Harmony is a company committed to innovation like LogiXML that makes use of standards-based and Web-based technologies to deliver a superior product. We see an opportunity to quickly enhance the value of our products to our customers as we integrate BI capabilities into our solutions. The Logi 8 technology will help us reach our product objectives very quickly,”
concludes Harmon.
