Hi Ericka,

AWARE, it's actually another acronym but I never bothered to memorize that part, is a purpose-built Web-Based VR Case Management System, which was designed with RSA Advisement, so it operates pretty smooth, on the 911 Report stuff, and all the other Federal monitoring. For us Field Grunts, it works as a really good all-encompassing system, and was designed to be actually almost really, kind of crazy, accessible! There are always hick-ups, as development failed to check with screen reader users, but all-in-all it works pretty darn well. I used it in Florida, working on contract to DBS and in Arkansas, managing a caseload under DSB. We were supposed to merge it in, here in General VR, as Blind and General merge, but General is already balking, for the much, much, much cheaper Libera System 7, they have been using for 7 years, which is a hideous excuse for modern case management, and is non-accessible, except for some JAWS scripts which make it barely usable. My Admin Assistant actually has to do lots of my work, as an accommodation, as it just is terrible to work with. When my I T Tech called Libera, asking about JAWS 2020 and JAWS 2021 scripts, they said they have "no plans to do that. AWARE does not require scripts, as it worked just fine, within the web browser. Oh these times, they do try me.  Ha!  😊  TGIF!

This will sound funny, but I am not aware of a WARE. Tell me more. Just curious.
