FamilyNow was previously a product with a focus on aligning CCWIS requirements, with a goal of protecting children and optimizing the processes used by Social Workers across the Public Sector. Over time, we realized there were a variety of partners that have invested millions of dollars in technology to technically meet CCWIS requirements. Unisys decided to sunset FamilyNow as a product, replacing it with partner technical solutions.
