Chatham-Kent Council at its meeting held on March 9, 2015 Page 3 of 41 Background In January 2013, Council received a report noting that the Employment and Social Services Division was working with the Ministry of Community and Social Services to replace the current technology system, Service Delivery Model Technology (SDMT), with the Social Assistance Management System (SAMS). SDMT, introduced in 2001, no longer meets the needs of social assistance staff and recipients. The Social Services Solutions Modernization Project (SSSMP) was a multi-year project, led by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, to enhance the delivery of social assistance through technology and business renewal. The project is part of the Major Application Portfolio Strategy (MAPS), a broader government initiative to modernize technology for enhanced service delivery across the Public Service. The Province promised that the new technology and business process renewal would result in: Improved customer service through new online services and enhanced service tools Streamlined business processes Timely implementation of policy and program changes Effective management of client data and other information to support service planning and delivery Increased audit capacity and accountability Staff engaged in significant training to prepare for the new technology. Two staff were identified as Trainers for the project, utilizing a train-the-trainer model. A project team of “Subject Matter Experts” was also put in place to assist with the transition. Training took place between June 2014 and November 2014, resulting in approximately 3000 staff training hours. However, the training environment was unstable, incomplete and did not provide a fulsome environment for staff training and preparation for implementation. A detailed site readiness plan was developed and the Division worked closely with the Ministry of Community and Social Services on a plan to provide strategies to assist in easing the workload pressures for staff leading up to the release of the new technology. Staff committed to maintaining current client service levels, and the expectation was that the changes would be transparent for social assistance recipients, service providers and the public. The scheduled implementation of SAMS was delayed on two separate occasions, with a final implementation date of November 11, 2014. Comments As with any new technology program, “glitches” were expected, however extensive challenges have been experienced by municipalities province-wide in the transition to the new SAMS technology. Following are some examples of the issues that have been experienced while working within the SAMS technology; Payment amounts on cheques do not match the cheque register. Information on cheque stubs do not reflect the correct rationale for payment. Payments were deposited into incorrect bank accounts. Verification of payments continues to be addressed manually. Staff have extremely limited confidence in converted data. Data entry for clients appears to be averaging two to three times longer to enter into SAMS as opposed to the previous system (SDMT). SAMS requires more key stroking and it is taking longer to complete most transactions. For example, previously it would have taken three mouse clicks to print an application but it now takes 37. Chatham-Kent Council at its meeting held on March 9, 2015 Page 4 of 41 The Ministry reported on February 20, 2015 that accumulated to date (73 days), there have been a total of 20,879 tickets of which 10,699 have been resolved. That leaves a large number outstanding, and when the issues are resolved the fixes are not communicated to staff. Many of the fixes also do not resolve the issue resulting in multiple re-ticketing for problems that were indicated as resolved, adding to staff frustration levels. From a Human Resource perspective, the system has resulted in tremendous demand on staff, both in time requirements for processing and difficulty in ensuring effective/compassionate client service. The issue of labour unrest within the Ministry only adds to the concerns regarding service delivery. We anticipate an increase in sick leave and utilization of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in the future as has been noted by some Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (CMSMs) and District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs). Currently very little financial accountability features are active within the SAMS system. This has both long term and short term effects. Financial reconciliations for monthly, quarterly and annual requirements cannot be met as Cognos reports are currently unreliable. Year-end deadlines will be difficult to meet and a substantial number of estimates will be required. Actual subsidy claims are impossible to determine. Several audit risks evolved regarding accuracy and systems testing,

  • 2019 Brewers Season Review Another Memorable September Leads to Back-To-Back Playoff Appearances
    December 2019 Volume 13 Issue 3 Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club Alumni Newsletter 2019 Brewers Season Review Another memorable September leads to back-to-back playoff appearances Though it wasn’t a carbon-copy run to the pennant like they engineered in 2018, the Brewers still put themselves in position to make September as memorable as the previous one when they captured the National League Central Division crown and came within one victory of returning to the World Series. Milwaukee posted its second straight 20-7 September to finish the year 89-73. It claimed its second straight postseason invitation, this time as the second Wild Card team, marking the second time in franchise history it had qualified for the playoffs. “This group fed off each other. It was a unit that believed in its abilities,” Brewers President of Baseball Operations and General Manager David Stearns said following the season. “I’m incredibly proud of the effort our team put forth this season, and further proud of the support from the entire organization to get us back to the playoffs.” “We know how challenging it is to make the playoffs in this league and to do it in back-to-back seasons for only the second time in franchise history is incredible. It’s not something we take for granted. It’s special each and every time you do it,” Stearns added. In late August, the Brewers clawed their way into contention when they were only two games above .500 by opening the final month on a 14-3 run that included winning eight games from their division rivals, the Chicago Cubs and the St.
