OneAdvanced has released the first major update wave for its IQ software platform, adding sector-specific tools for organisations in healthcare, government, education, legal, housing and commercial markets.
The update is the first large-scale expansion of IQ since its launch earlier this year. It introduces artificial intelligence-based automation, workflow and operational intelligence features for organisations in regulated sectors.
Healthcare users will receive clinical documentation tools and patient self-triage functions. Government and housing organisations are getting financial planning, procurement, scheduling and workflow tools to support service delivery and compliance.
Education customers are being given learner management, coaching and compliance functions, while legal users will see workflow automation, compliance monitoring and other operational tools. Commercial customers, including wholesale and logistics businesses, are receiving forecasting, procurement automation and reporting features.
The new functions are designed to sit within existing operational workflows rather than as separate standalone artificial intelligence tools. OneAdvanced positions IQ as a platform that combines data governance, workflow software and sector-specific functions.
The release comes as software suppliers try to move artificial intelligence products beyond pilot projects and into day-to-day business use. In public services and other regulated industries, that shift has increasingly centred on administrative tasks, compliance monitoring and operational planning.
OneAdvanced is one of the larger UK software suppliers focused on sector-specific software-as-a-service markets. Based in Birmingham, it sells products used by public sector bodies, healthcare providers, schools and colleges, legal firms, housing organisations and commercial operators.
Sector focus
The latest release reflects that market structure. Rather than introducing a single set of generic tools, OneAdvanced has grouped the update around the operational needs of each vertical market, with healthcare and public sector functions prominent in the rollout.
That includes clinical tools for primary, urgent and private care, alongside planning and procurement functions for public bodies and housing providers. In education, the emphasis is on learner visibility and administrative processes, while in legal services the focus is on matter management and regulatory oversight.
For commercial users, the additions target finance and supply chain oversight. Forecasting, procurement and operational reporting are among the areas covered for wholesale and logistics organisations.
Customers can now access the updated features. OneAdvanced also said further programmes in payroll, human resources, purchasing and workflow automation are being prepared in private preview.
Marko Perisic, Chief Product Officer at OneAdvanced, outlined the company’s view of how artificial intelligence is being adopted in business software.
“We are only at the beginning of what will be a transformational shift as AI becomes increasingly embedded into everyday work,” said Marko Perisic, Chief Product Officer at OneAdvanced.
“IQ was designed to sit at the centre of that transition, giving organisations across mission-critical sectors an intelligent, connected and trusted system of work, built with the governance and operational resilience our customers already expect from OneAdvanced,” Perisic said.
“We are pleased to be launching this latest release wave and look forward to supporting customers as they unlock productivity, reduce complexity and improve how work gets done,” he added.
