Hyro http://www.hyro.com, a strategic partner for Athena products and services in Australia, selected Athena’s client management software http://www.athenasoftware.net as the best solution to offer the New South Wales human services sector. The human service sector in New South Wales is made up of approximately nine government departments and many thousands of non-government organizations (NGOs). These organizations work to maintain or improve the well being of communities and people.
Hyro has previously supplied to the New South Wales Government ServiceLink and ReferralLink. ServiceLink is a directory of NGOs and the services they provide, and enables NGOs to make more accurate referrals. ReferralLink manages the electronic referral of clients between NGOs and Government departments, and is also being applied in the critical area of electronic reporting of suspected cases of child abuse.
Hyro Director of Government Solutions, John Gottschalk said, “Athena was selected as the software of choice after an extensive search. Athena is user friendly, offers power and an intuitive design. It ‘s already a success in Canada and the US.” “Hyro looks forward to working with Athena to begin implementing our integrated solution very soon, “said Gottschalk.

Athena will be offered as a licensed product or a subscription bureau service. Athena will be integrated with ServiceLink and ReferralLink to enable human services organisations to leverage the resources that the Human Services Better Service Delivery Program has established for the benefit of the sector. Being on the NSW Panel of Approved Suppliers provides human service organisations with the confidence that Hyro’s solution meets a wide set of requirements and is competitively priced.
