V1 will cover the minimum functionality required to decommission CWS/CMS, support new policies and programs, such as California’s Family First Prevention Services (FFPS) Program, and lay a solid foundation for full CCWIS compliance in V2. V1 will enable core child welfare workflows for Intake, Case Management, Resource & Financial Management, Courts, Eligibility, Resource Family Approval (RFA), Reporting and Analytics and CARES Administration. V2 will extend V1 to provide advanced Analytics, Provider Management, Financial Management and CARES Administration capabilities. V2 will also include all CCWIS-mandatory data exchanges. The CWS-CARES Project will work with CalSAWS to plan and discuss specific timeframes for completion. 

Prior to the switch to platform development, updates were pushed directly to production, and workers could use the system in their “real” day to day work. As we know this posed several challenges.

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud that will provide CWDS with a configurable application and other development tools that will simplify and accelerate our development of CARES. As a service, the platform vendor will take care of the infrastructure needed to maintain and operate CARES. That infrastructure includes computing capabilities, security, storage, disaster recovery etc. CWDS is then able to concentrate on developing the CARES application, interfaces and analytics capabilities.
