Details
WorkZone is a project management solution that is built just right for small and medium businesses. It is not so simple that it misses out on the best practices and details that some entry level solutions seem to do and it is not too complex and exhaustive that you need specialist. The solution is cloud based and can be used from any PC or Mac with internet connectivity, simply log in and you are good to go. The software was first offered in the year 2000 and since then, it has been with countless customers and has been tested and developed exhaustively.
With a centralized dashboard, managers have a bird’s eye view of all their projects. They know at a glance how each project is faring and the ones that need management attention will be clearly visible. While managers get a bird’s eye view, individual users get personalized to-do lists that cut across all the projects they are part of. The lists are prioritized and keep team members focused on their most important tasks. The solution is easy to use and users do not have to learn to navigate any complex screens. The work they need to do, comes up right in front automatically.
While the simpler tools treat project management like ticking items off a grocery list, WorkZone uses a more sophisticated model. The solution understands that tasks will have subtasks and team members will have priorities. It caters to these while creating the workflow that members are required to follow.
Document sharing and management is far easier as compared to solutions such as Sharepoint. All team members have centralized access to documents they are authorized to handle. Version control of documents is built right into the solution. Sharing of document is granular – this means you can define which team members can view a document, who can edit it and which members do not access rights. Reviews and approvals follow a well defined workflow – you can customize it if you require and a complete audit trail is maintained of the approval process.
Reporting tools are exhaustive and can accommodate the level of detail that managers seek. WorkZone not only helps teams get their projects underway and under control, it also helps in ensuring that your teams deliver successful projects, time after time.
