Allow over 400 agencies, nation-wide, to "go to scale" by serving TEN TIMES the number of children served at the turn of the century (2000). The Big Brothers Big Sisters model has been objectively shown to have huge impact on the children served by the program and our vision is to bring this value to every child who can benefit from it. By focusing on schools, communities and targetted population (e.g. children of incarcerated parents), we aim to achieve "tipping points" and major societal impacts.

The system assures quality and safety by assuring that all enrollment steps are taken and that appropriate checks and balances are in place. All key milestones in the process are reviewed and/or approved by an additional person/level in the agency. Agency management are alerted to anomalies in real-time. Trends can be studies in major markets, regions or nationally.

Because it is web-based on non-proprietary, AIM can be easily integrated with similarly designed systems (e.g. staff and volunteers can access an online, natural language and constantly growing knowledge base)

WHAT WE NEED:

Only one-third of agencies have been converted to AIM. Because the early conversions have been for larger, more established/sophisticated agencies, we are now moving to a stage where agencies will need more support during the conversion. Also, a steady stream of valuable enhancement requests are being submitted in order to help the product mature and to handle situations not anticipated during initial design. Finally, while the workflow and performance management portions of AIM are very strong, the ad hoc reporting capabilities are less developed and powerful. An effort to replace the existing reporting dashboard with a more powerful Data Warehouse and data-mining tools is planned
