CAL2CAL Corporation

Public health, e-government and education software are built by CAL2CAL, a group incorporated in California in 1996 that now has operations around the world. The group describes itself as an independent software vendor, and it focuses on the innovative use of information, communication and mobile technology to develop customized products for niche but growing markets.

Software for health, welfare and public services

Its custom software covers e-health, public health, social protection and welfare services, e-government and electronic surveys. The group's ICT team also deals with bodies like the World Bank and the World Health Organization, on projects that need technology suited to public programs.

Standards-based development and health informatics

The group promotes standards-based application development and is active in international standards organizations, including HL7. It also argues that education and training in health informatics are essential for healthcare workers, because electronic data sharing and health records depend on people who understand how they work. Its training services are offered alongside its software work.

From requirements to a working end-to-end system

The group's process starts by defining the client's requirements and assessing risk factors to decide whether a project is feasible. It then delivers an end-to-end solution against agreed timelines, budgets and milestones. Research and evaluation of alternative information and communication technologies feeds the design, including technologies that are not yet commercially deployed, so that the solution is not limited to what is already in use.

Project and quality management

Project management and quality management support the delivery of each system. The work runs from the requirements stage through to the finished system.

Consultancy and training across industries

The group describes itself as a software development company that offers a range of services to clients in different industries worldwide. Alongside software, it provides consultancy and education and training, so a client can receive both the system and the skills to use it.
