OLM Group best performing ICS supplier

Published 9th May 2008

With news that a large number of councils were unable to reach the Integrated Children’s System (ICS) March deadline, it is revealed that 27 of the 55 councils to successfully hit ICS Phase 1B target are customers of OLM Group. According to a circular from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), this positions OLM Group as the top performing ICS supplier.

OLM Group is the market leader with 41 English local authorities using its ICS solution. Peter O‘Hara, Chief Executive, OLM Group explains: “OLM Group recognises the need to apply ICS as part of a wider change programme within children’s services, and our specialist business transformation team has extensive experience in delivering comprehensive ICS packages to deadline.”

Earlier this year OLM Group announced that it was one of the first organisations to achieve full compliance in all categories of ICS Phase 1B. OLM Group’s ICS system adds real value and delivers benefits that prepare organisations for the current and future challenges of increased multi-agency working and the information-sharing environment.

O’Hara continues: "OLM Group is committed to helping local authorities implement the Integrated Children’s System at the earliest opportunity. This is reflected in the fact that 65 per cent of our ICS customers hit the deadline – a higher percentage than any other supplier.”
