Definitive Business Solutions Announces the Release of SMARTopics™
Publish Date : 12/5/2004 1:19:00 PM Source : Business News Onlypunjab.com
Executives can now drive organizational performance and compliance using a new, state-of-the art system, freeing themselves of the traditional and inefficient methods. A new software product called SMARTopics™ enables executives to task personnel within their organization using a centralized system, which then provides the basis for the subsequent status reporting. SMARTopics™ enables executives to receive their communications in a prioritized manner, so that they can quickly process the most critical information first, and easily discern what actions may be required.
“Today’s regulatory scrutiny and highly competitive business environment make it imperative that senior management have the ability to stay abreast of all key organizational initiatives and issues. To meet these challenges and requirements, executives often find themselves receiving vast amounts of data of various types, in various formats, and at various frequencies making it impossible to process. As such, many organizations are rethinking how they communicate, and realizing that they must make communications more succinct and actionable so that key information and issues reach appropriate leaders to drive performance and compliance”, says John Sammarco, Managing Director and the Product Manager of SMARTopics™.
Regarding the need for the product, Sammarco added: “In my career, I have seen too many situations where executives spend their valuable time slogging their way through unstructured and non-prioritized status reports, attempting to unravel e-mail strings, needing to read through multiple versions of the same e-mail, or hunting for lost attachments. Our SMARTopics™ product brings the necessary structure and utilizes our unique 3-dimensional prioritization process to better meet the needs of executives.” Moreover, the power of SMARTopics™ is amplified by its simplicity and ease-of-use, hallmarks for all of our solutions.
John Sammarco goes on to add: “Organizations can leverage SMARTopics™ to manage tasking and reporting around any item of interest. We’re seeing companies interested in using it to drive performance associated with technology projects, management tasks, strategic objectives, business deals, sales opportunities, risks, and trouble-tickets. In addition, SMARTopics™ is an outstanding tool for managing compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.”
