Our Story
Fulton Street is governed by agencies like yours who bring an immeasurable amount of experience and insight to our person-centered platform, benefiting all ASARA users.
The Fulton Street Software Story
Fulton Street Software was founded as a unique social enterprise. Our goal is to support the positive outcomes for those whom our clients serve, while maximizing operational efficiencies without sacrificing the innovation and agility of a for-profit enterprise.
The concept for a public-private joint-venture came up in 2009 when the first version of Options™ went into production. By 2013 with a few agencies using the system and potential new clients lined up, Fulton Street Software LLC (FSS) was born with the goal of rolling out the Options™ Application and providing maintenance, support and enhancements.
Options™ became a user-driven application focused on data collection, data management and reporting for social services agencies. As the number of users grew, so too have the available functions and features. Options™ became the system of record for our clients and users.

ASARA™ - the next generation application

ASARA is a single data repository for all client services, able to share data with other internal and external systems to provide a census of all clients and services. ASARA grows as the needs of the agencies grow; we build ASARA for our clients.
