"DatStat Illume not only replaced our custom-built online assessment solution but also enabled Casey Family Programs to cost-effectively move the breadth of our business feedback processes to a centralized online platform. From youth assessments to 360-degree peer reviews, DatStat Illume has enabled us to seamlessly integrate feedback data into improving all we do—internally and externally."

About DatStat

 
  DatStat Illume enables 300% increase in online survey usage.
  Casey Family Programs
  Casey Family Programs is the largest national foundation whose sole mission is to provide and improve—and ultimately prevent the need for— foster care. The foundation draws on its 40 years of experience and expert research and analysis to improve the lives of children and youth in foster care in two important ways: by providing direct services and support to foster families; and promoting improvements in child welfare practice and policy. The Seattle-based foundation was established in 1966 by U.P.S. founder Jim Casey and currently has an endowment of $2 billion.

With nearly 400 employees and a growing need for online surveys and assessments, Casey Family Programs needed a flexible online survey solution that integrated with their systems and processes. They formed an internal tool review team whose mission was to scour the market for the right application.

 
 
With internal demands growing, the custom-built application offered limited functionality and other online tools offered a lot of “bells and whistles” in the interface but fell short on capabilities.
Other online assessment tools on the market didn’t offer an open API and off-the-shelf flexibility, imperative for complex integration and adoption.
Real-time reporting and access to feedback data was critical for program success—a capability the current solution didn’t offer and appeared clunky in other tools.
DatStat Illume offered flexible question design that far exceeded the custom-built solution and other online tools—multiple question types, real-time data validation, and smart conditional logic allow various groups to easily collect relevant data.
A combination of platform flexibility and the DatStat Illume Software Developers’ Kit enabled developers to seamlessly interact with system data, opening a world of custom integration opportunity.
Delivering exactly what the tool review team was looking for; DatStat Illume Web Console enables real-time reporting with cross-time and assessment data aggregation views for employees as well as real-time feedback for participants.
Casey Family Programs is doing more assessments with fewer resources; online surveys and assessments increased 300% to include over 250 running at any given time, including capturing 132,000 responses in one 2005 assessment alone.
With 20 licensed users, DatStat Illume now facilitates the breadth of Casey Family Programs’ business processes including 360-degree peer reviews and youth assessments.
Upper management now gets data from project owners in a precise, timely, and consistent manner which leads to better decisions and program improvements.
