ACA’s vision of interoperability extends beyond the traditional definition of aligning multiple IT systems for data interchange. For us, interoperability essentially means collaboration among organizations who standardize their business processes, organize resources, and use common terminology and data formats, while technology facilitates this collaboration.
Using our extensive knowledge of public and private systems and service delivery issues, we assist our customers with care coordination, systems and agency integration, data analysis, predictive and organizational modeling, reporting, regulatory compliance, increased fiscal and administrative efficiency, and information management systems implementation.
ACA offers many products that assist organizations with administrative, fiscal, and data management tasks, allowing our customers to increase efficiency through coordinated management functions.

We assist human services organizations with their program administration efforts through integrating business processes within their agencies. We help agencies coordinate their internal management functions across multiple funding streams, and we assist with regulatory compliance and reporting. This promotes more efficient program operations, and ultimately more comprehensive treatment for clients.
In the human services arena, we believe that interoperability entails much more than data sharing and systems integration. Interoperability involves inter-agency collaboration, shared policies, and compatible business procedures, while maintaining consumer confidentiality, as well as respecting the individual identities and service missions of cooperating agencies. Successful interoperability initiatives result in coordinated systems, fewer duplicative efforts, and more prudent fiscal management, helping agencies to improve care delivery.
