SOCIAL ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT (SEM)
Forward-thinking governments are focusing on improving the quality of their social infrastructure as a strategic imperative to improve service delivery and cut costs.  Innovative agencies are embracing new Social Enterprise Management (SEM) models to achieve successful client-focused outcomes.  SEM is a business and technology model that is enabled by a new generation of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of social services organizations. 

MEETING THE CHALLENGES
The Cúram Business Application Suite is the leading COTS solution specifically designed to address the challenges facing social enterprises.  Based on Social Enterprise Management principles, the Cúram Business Application Suite supports common business fundamentals along with program specific rules and processes.  The Cúram solution provides all of the fundamentals that lead to a consistent, accurate, responsive, timely, and cost-effective solution.  Cúram lays the foundation of an outcome-based service delivery model that meets today’s business and social objectives, as well as tomorrow’s challenges.

The Cúram Business Application Suite comprises domain-specific business and technology components built on a modular enterprise architecture that provides agencies with deep functionality and fast, flexible deployment capabilities without tying the enterprise to a specific systems integration partner or technology platform.  Cúram Solution modules and Cúram Enterprise modules deliver extensive business and program functionality integrated into a common and extensible foundation that provides a broad repository of SEM-based technology and business services. This foundation is called the Cúram Enterprise Framework.

The Cúram solution supports the common modernization and transformation strategies:

• By Program: The solution module addresses a specific program need like Income Support, Child Welfare,  or Unemployment Insurance
• Enterprise: Cúram addresses enterprise needs by leveraging the Cúram Enterprise Framework that can be used as a foundation to build solutions addressing a full range of social programs
• Incremental Modernization: As a component based, SOA-compliant solution, Cúram fully supports a deployment model that allows organizations to modernize systems incrementally with minimal project risk. The flexibility of Cúram enables organizations to deploy selected functionality in a modular way over time, in line with the organization’s business and technical strategy, budget, and program needs. Cúram offers solutions that facilitate this process.
