Isidore CAPS
Isidore Card Application Processing System is an example of our Rapid Application Development, where the Isidore platform was used to custom build software to suit the Department of Defence's specific requirements, without exception! This would not likely have been achievable with other options.
The Department of Defence’s card application and maintenance process was too specific and much bigger than other similar entities and there was also no off the shelf software which suited. A process to engage SAP for a solution had not succeeded, so the Department were left with the existing problem and no foreseeable solution, yet a couple of years set-back.
Department of Defence
“Isidore is the least of my problems”
Details
Isidore was able to demonstrate a quick prototype with the use of our platform on the Isidore server, for quick viewing. The Department was then able to progress with a requirements phase which involved the standard Isidore software to be installed and modified to suit the existing Credit Card process with no compromise. Isidore assisted the business team to write the requirements and while providing advice and options, did not try to move the Department away from the core process to suit the software.
The project to build the software took 9 months and was on time and on budget. The entire process and all of the features of the existing software were migrated to the new Isidore platform or re-engineered to make then more efficient and to take advantage of the technology improvements available with being a web-based, centralised solution.

Case Studies
Department of Defence Credit Card Application System (CAPS)
The Department of Defence’s card application and maintenance process was too specific and much bigger than other similar entities and there was also no off the shelf software which suited. A process to engage SAP for a solution had not succeeded, so the Department were left with the existing problem and no foreseeable solution, yet a couple of years set-back.
Department of Finance and Deregulation
The Department of Finance (DoFA) wanted to improve their Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting process, as they were using a spreadsheet based system which they found inefficient, time consuming and restrictive. DoFA also had unique requirements that could not be met by any existing software on the market without significant customisation and cost. Isidore implemented our Budgeting solution with all of the intricacies required by DoFA.
Commonwealth Rehabilitation Services
Isidore provided CRS Australia with our Budgeting solution which performed the same functions as their existing spreadsheets, was as easy for non-accounting managerial staff to use and was centralised in their Head office so admin staff could open and close access, make changes immediate and view the budgets as they were being entered by staff regardless of where they were located in Australia.
