RTM Designs Company
Information
RTM Designs was originally formed in El Dorado Hills, California
in 1994 for the
sole purpose of developing and
marketing comprehensive Information
& Referral/Client Tracking/Case
Management
software that met the needs of
discriminating I&R
organizations.
The
core analysis and programming
staff at RTM Designs have developed
Information & Referral, Client
Tracking, Case Management and other
Human Service software systems for
public and private non-profit
organizations since the early 1980s.
RTM
Designs' first product, Refer96, was
released in October 1996.
Refer96
revolutionized and set the new
standard for I&R software with
features not found in any other
system.
- Accurate
Area Served service searches
- Comprehensive
but easy-to-use Taxonomy
functionality
- Multiple,
simultaneous service term searches
- Ability
to assist multiple people in one
contact session
- Complete
printed directory and index
production
The Refer96 product was the first
commercially available system to use the AIRS standard 4-tiered
ServiceSite database
structure.
RTM
Designs was also the first I&R
software development company to offer
a public accessible service provider
database search engine for the Web,
called ReferWeb. This
Internet-based system provides the
same level of searching accuracy as
the popular Refer and Alliance
Network professional
systems. To date, no other
Web-based public accessible service
provider search engine offers the ease
of use and accuracy of ReferWeb.
RTM Designs commitment to
their software
No other I&R
software vendor has the level of
experience, knowledge, expertise, and
commitment to I&R software as the

works closely with our customers to
find new ways to improves the all

minor releases each year. Major upgrades are fully updated and

RTM
Designs - looking ahead
The future of Information &
Referral is the linking of independent
regional I&R centers into one
shared, central statewide network
system. The ReferNET 2-1-1
Statewide Network system has already
proven to be highly effective in
tracking people and families affected
by recent natural disasters and by providing timely, accurate service
information.
RTM Designs' new web-based I&R
system (code named "WebIR" -
due first quarter 2008) will once again
revolutionize the way web-based
I&R applications perform using
RTM's new "FastForm"
technology and Microsoft's new ASP.NET
2.0/3.0 web software development platform.
RTM Designs continues to design,
develop and deliver
powerful
Web and Windows Human Service systems
to meet current and future needs of
independent and collaborative I&R
organizations. Using the
most advanced software development
tools, RTM Designs software will
always set the standard for
Information & Referral, Client and
Volunteer Tracking, and Case
Management software.
RTM Designs is committed to the
continued development of comprehensive
human services software products which
elevate the quality of information at
call centers and to the public.
