Hi everyone, and Happy Holidays!
I have three exciting updates to share about the AlayaCare project. AlayaCare is the software platform that is replacing the Operations Database (ODB).
1. Status of the AlayaCare project: We’re making great progress!
We’ve been moving ahead really well with the first phase of the project called “Discovery.” The purpose of the Discovery phase is to understand all the things we do today to provide services and support. This is done through a series of Discovery sessions with a broad range of Christian Horizons team members. The initial focus is on what the Operations Database (ODB) does today at a minimum. Thank you to the many people that have contributed to this work – we’re making great progress!
In January, we will provide further communication about the project, so stay tuned.
2. Announcing the Project Lead
In our last two communications on November 10 and November 17, we asked for expressions of interest for two important project roles: the Project Lead and the Training and Readiness Lead. We were really impressed with how much interest there has been in both roles.
We’re very pleased to announce that the successful candidate for the Project Lead role is Hudson Boulard, Program Manager from East District! Hudson has been with Christian Horizons for over ten years and brings a wealth of experience as a DSP and PM. He also played a leadership role in our COVID-19 response as an Outbreak Manager.
Next, we’re moving ahead with the selection process for the Training & Readiness Lead.
3. Highlighting the AlayaCare press release
We worked with AlayaCare to prepare a press release announcing our partnership with them. I am happy to say that the press release is LIVE!
