Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Effective training is important for users, offered through in-person and online sessions along with user guides. Training varies based on users' tasks and technical proficiency with devices. Simply filling in forms is straightforward and a user guide suffices for this but training can still be provided if required. Multimedia presentations and live demonstrations cover system navigation, data input, and administrative tasks.

Admins receive a train-the-trainer approach, enabling them to train new users. This methodology fosters a deep understanding of training methodologies and processes. Trainers utilize screen-sharing tools like MS Teams, Zoom, and Google Meets. Additionally, screencast demo videos offer comprehensive guidance and serve as quick references.

Ultan Technologies provides customised support documentation, including importing and other job creation methods, job assignment using the various methods, form completion guides, dashboards and reporting, system admin manuals, and tailored resources. These resources, such as training presentations, recordings, and a knowledge base, are tailored to the organisation's specific needs, ensuring effective implementation and ongoing support.

mWorkerCIS has an established API for integration with other systems. Examples of the APIs include

Login:
/Home/APILogin

Create a job:
- /api/Job/CreateJob

Create multiple jobs:
- Get a template file: /api/job/Get

Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
Admin users can create, delete, change and enhance the forms, dashboards, reports and workflows. Once an existing element is edited and published, operational users will see the new or edited version immediately.

Scoring systems for forms can be completely changed to suit the customers' needs

With our drag-and-drop tools, users can easily add/remove/edit the fields on an existing form template or create a new one from scratch. Such templates can then have a workflow built around them. Our form building tool eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming development.

The reports and dashboards can also be custom created by the clients' admin users. Displays such as charts (bar, pie, treemaps, sparklines, doughnut, etc.), gauges, pivot tables, maps and more to allow users to configure reporting, showing the statistics they desire engagingly.

mWorkerCIS allows for custom user types to be configured depending on the clients' preferences. Allowing access to be limited to exactly what the roles needs.

Integration through APIs also allows for extensive customisation.

Security governance

Security governance standards
ISO/IEC 27001
Information security policies and processes
The Board of Directors (“the Board”) is ultimately accountable for corporate governance as a whole. The management and control of information security risks is an integral part of corporate governance. In practice, however, the Board explicitly delegates executive responsibilities for most governance matters to the Executive Directors, led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

The Executive Directors give overall strategic direction by approving and mandating the information security principles and axioms but delegate operational responsibilities for physical and information security to the Security Committee (SC) chaired by the Information Security Manager (ISM).

We have a set of security policies that are available on request. These are certified as part of our ISO27001 certification process.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Our change management processes gather product change requests from clients, from internal stakeholders and from the results of various security checks that are carried out regularly.

Each quarter, these change requests are prioritised and gathered into releasable packages. Any change that can impact security is escalated to the Security Committee who agree appropriate tests.

Development is carried out to implement the changes.

All development is subject to manual and automated tests, some of which include testing for security vulnerabilities.

Emergency change requests are treated in the same way.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Various internal and external regular security checks are carried out on a defined schedule.
Each threat identified is highlighted to the Security Committee which decides on when a patch is required - we can deploy them extremely quickly if necessary.
Information on potential threads is obtained from third party providers and from our own security experts.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Potential compromises are identified through automated analysis of our systems - activities, log files, memory usage, cpu usage, etc.

Potential compromises are addressed immediately with our Security Committee as described in earlier responses.

We respond immediately on the day of the incident.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
We have run-books that cater for any common events - they are processes detailing how to deal with each of them.

Users report incidents through our standard ticketing systems - through email, telephone or through the client portal.

Incident reports are provided through emails and our client portal.

Fighting climate change

Ultan Technologies' software plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions across 85,000 buildings managed by 4,000 organizations, aiding Ireland in reaching its national carbon reduction goals. The platform achieves a 30% efficiency improvement, saving around 200,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. This results in approximately £60 million in energy savings for the public sector, promoting environmental responsibility.

Looking ahead, the platform aims to help organisations meet a target of a 51% reduction by 2030. Predictive analytics suggest that Ultan Technologies' software could prevent over 300,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, with financial savings potentially reaching up to £90 million each year.

This platform continues to be used by thousands of organisations on a daily basis to identify opportunities for saving emissions and becoming more energy efficient. Organisations also use it to conserve water.

Our Social Value Method Statement has more detail on our efforts in this regard. We would be willing to work with all clients to discuss ways in which this expertise can be used to assist their employees, clients and other stakeholders.

Covid-19 recovery

Our flexible working model has been implemented across our workforce of 30 employees, reducing the need for commuting by 60%, which in turn has diminished our carbon footprint and contributed to employee well-being. This approach is projected to save around 94,000 commuting miles per year, equating to a reduction of 40 tonnes of CO2 annually. Additionally, by supporting remote working, we have helped maintain operational continuity during the pandemic, with an estimated value of increased productivity worth £500,000 in saved downtime.

These approaches to our working methods were put in place during and after Covid-19 and we continue to adjust them to suit our ongoing needs. We have proven ourselves to be resilient to events like this, and after a period of reduced activity due to Covid 19, we have come back stronger than ever.

Our Social Value Method Statement has more detail on our efforts in this regard and we are willing to work with our clients in order to help them achieve similar targets.

Tackling economic inequality

Through partnerships with women's return-to-work organisations, Ultan Technologies has recruited 6 employees, effectively adding £300,000 annually to the local economy based on average salary scales. Moreover, our commitment to employing 25% of our workforce from these programs not only supports gender equality but also boosts local economic activity through increased spending and economic participation.

We are continuing our partnerships with these programmes and expect to get at least 25% of future hires through them.

Our Social Value Method Statement has more detail on our efforts in this regard and we are willing to discuss with all clients, ways in which we can work together to achieve proportionate targets in projects that we work on together.

Equal opportunity

Our commitment to diversity is evident as we maintain a workforce with 50% female and 50% immigrant employees. This diverse staffing strategy has resulted in innovative product development and a 20% increase in client satisfaction scores, directly linked to diverse perspectives in team dynamics. The social value here, beyond compliance with equal opportunity, is reflected in a more inclusive technology sector and the promotion of multicultural integration, with an estimated social cohesion value of £200,000 annually through community engagement and CSR initiatives.

We continue to monitor our numbers in this regard and we intend to keep the percentages as high as possible as we grow.

Our Social Value Method Statement has more detail on our efforts in this regard.

Wellbeing

The implementation of our flexible work policy has led to a 30% reduction in reported stress and a 25% increase in overall job satisfaction among our employees. By enhancing well-being, we've observed a 15% increase in productivity, which translates into an additional £200,000 in annual revenue. Moreover, the health benefits correlate with lower healthcare costs, estimated to save approximately £50,000 per year in reduced absenteeism and healthcare claims. It has also resulted in a very stable workforce - it is over two years since someone left our organisation.

By quantifying the social value delivered through these initiatives, Ultan Technologies not only demonstrates its commitment to impactful outcomes but also provides a clear and measurable benefit that aligns with governmental expectations for contract performance. This comprehensive approach ensures that the social value is not only envisioned but also delivered in measurable terms, making a strong case for Ultan Technologies' alignment with PPN guidelines.

Our flexible working policy is in constant review - we are always looking for ways to improve it so that our employees enjoy their work life.
