Debut NY Business website: Sign-Out Board

Online sign-out board and employee schedule. Real-time updates of daily appointments and activities, with five-year look-ahead capability.

(PRWEB) June 5, 2004 -- NY-based Stephen Pool has recently unveiled Sign-Out Board, a debut website offering small and midsized businesses an innovative way to view and post employee schedules. Developed as a solution to poor office communication and to save valuable time spent "checking the board" for peoples' whereabouts, this new service lets staff and management stay informed about office events, meetings and personnel activities, right from their desktop or laptop.

Essentially an online "mark-it" board, with the look and feel of a traditional dry-erase marker board, Sign-Out Board's smooth interface and online accessability make it an efficient and welcome alternative to the standard office wall board. Unlike competing database and scheduling software, Sign-Out Board's attraction is its simplicity and "up-front" presentation of information.

From work, home or on the road, users can view and edit their schedules from any online connection securely. Real-time updating ensures that posted information remains current. Weekly schedules are modeled on the standard Monday through Friday business workweek and a simple pull-down menu allows users to select any given week in a five-year period. This look-ahead capability makes the board ideal for long-term planning and anticipating future work loads.

Board security is enhanced by letting company Administrators selectively limit usage by assigning various access levels—from full-rights to read-only rights—to individual employees. For record-keeping purposes, users are prevented from altering any prior week's schedule, although past weeks may be viewed and printed as needed.

Sign-Out Board's unlimited capacity can accommodate firms with five or five hundred employees, and its "mark-it" board format displays all the names on one scrolling screen, listed alphabetically--making finding an individual's schedule fast and simple. An added plus is the space-saving "Comment" feature which allows users to supplement their posted information with "hidden" notes or instructions, viewable with a simple mouse-over pass as pop-up "tooltip" messages.

Sign-Out Board is ideal for managing the activity of personnel in any size business. Real estate offices, law firms, brokers, staffing agencies, security and sales companies--any firm where employees need up-to-the-minute information about staff whereabouts--will benefit from Sign-Out Board's ease of use and online convenience.
