Once an order has been placed and contract signed, ILLY will run a number of workshops to ensure that the correct setup of the System as per the Treatment Service Hierarchy.

At ILLY we are privileged to work within a sector dedicated to improving social vaue which can be measured by the positive contribution we make within our communities, affecting societal change through close partnership working with commissioners, data analysts/administrators, front-line practitioners and OHID.

ILLY started out building software for the banking sector in 1993, but through a shared conscience and a desire to improve the lives of the UK’s most vulnerable individuals, we began to develop and deliver innovative technology with real therapeutic value which, over time, has demonstrably helped our partners in supporting service users to achieve their individual recovery goals.

Since moving into the substance misuse sector, ILLY’s mission has been clear: to drive positive social change through the use of technology and data. We use our expertise to support services deliver effective interventions which, in turn, improve lives and benefit communities. Adding social value is the reason for our existence – it is ingrained in our DNA.

For over 25 years, ILLY Systems has been on a relentless mission to make a real difference within the sectors we work in. Key within this has been to develop and deliver innovative technology that has real therapeutic value in helping clients, young and adult, turn their lives around. As such, delivering social value to our communities is the reason why we exist and ingrained in our culture. This is only possible because of the way in which we have been able to integrate our passion, our economic engine and our big goals of doing good through the use of effective technology. We believe that through the development of innovative therapeutic tools and solutions, we are able to make a real contribution to support clients and their families affected by the harm caused through substance misuse.
