OfficeStatus In-Out Board Software Addresses Key Challenges of the Dispersed Workforce

TRAVERSE CITY, MI, March 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Today's organizations are increasingly dependent upon a dispersed workforce. Critical business opportunities often hinge upon a network of employees and contractors that are separated by both physical and virtual distance, leading to well-known (and costly) communications inefficiencies and disconnects.

OfficeStatus provides an un-intrusive, software-based in-out board solution that puts employee presence, status, availability, and contact information at the fingertips of the entire organization. With OfficeStatus, employees can quickly determine where their coworkers are located, their status (e.g. in the office, out sick, on a break, etc.), and how they can be reached. Employees that are out of the office can indicate when they are due back, and provide alternate labor routing information to coworkers.
OfficeStatus also offers a wealth of features designed to help employees engage with organizational structure and culture. OfficeStatus stores contact details for each employee that can optionally include biographical information, a photo, multiple phone records, and more. OfficeStatus also presents an organizational tree view, helping employees become familiar with company structure. Other collaboration features include company announcements, integrated messaging, user status watches, and much more.

Additionally, OfficeStatus offers a broad range of useful management tools. Several reports are available, including User Status History and Time Card reports that offer detailed and summarized access (respectively) to employee time and attendance. Workforce visualization tools show, at a glance, the distribution of employee status across multiple departments.

Employees can interact with OfficeStatus through any of three available interfaces - Windows desktop client, web interface, or mobile web interface. All three interfaces can be used from any location with network (or Internet) connectivity. No matter where your employees are located, OfficeStatus has you covered.

OfficeStatus offers a 30-day, no-risk trial that can be downloaded from our website at http://www.officestatus.com. OfficeStatus is licensed on a per-user basis, with prices starting at $200.00 USD for 10 users (per-user costs are lower with larger license sizes).
