OfficeClip.com adds New Features, Expands Functionality; and Remains FREE

Atlanta, GA -- OfficeClip.com (www.officeclip.com) has added a Bulletin Board for group discussions to its suite of powerful business Intranet communication and collaboration tools and has also improved its Calendar to include invitations and RSVP functionality. Other OfficeClip.com offerings include: Instant Broadcast Messaging via e-mail, pager and cell phone; Calendar, Personal Reminders, Reservations for Shared Facilities and Equipment; Workflow Time and Expense Reports; and an issue tracker that can be configured for sales, healthcare, customer service, software bug tracking and more. OfficeClip.com is completing final testing and will soon add Document Management to its applications.

OfficeClip.com was created to enable free and open collaboration across organizational, team and geographic lines, modeled after the way work gets done today. Its development was precipitated by the explosion of remote workforces, contract employees, consultants, job sharing and flex time. Cosec President, S.K. Dutta said, The digital age has freed us from our offices, but it has tied us to our devices, how, where and when we can be reached become the most important questions of the day. OfficeClip.com frees us with a suite of powerful collaborative tools, all easily accessed on the web, but securely stored and safe from outside access. And OfficeClip.com does it all for free."

The functionality that places OfficeClip.com as the key player in the Professional Grade Intranet market is the workflow aspect of the applications. Stated simply, workflow is a fully automated tasking system for groups of workers. Here is how it can work, a supervisor has a report that needs to be done, they can route it to an employee to complete the work, when the employee is done, the report is automatically sent back to the supervisor. The supervisor reviews the work and can either approve or reject the work, add comments and recommendations, and depending on the feedback they give, the report will be routed to the appropriate worker or group for completion; on to another approving authority; or even to the end destination. Workflow is currently enabled in Time and Expense reporting, and is part and parcel to the upcoming Document Management application.

Today, people work in cross-functional teams within the same organizations, they work across organizational lines, and even for multiple organizations, OfficeClip.com mirrors the flexibility of this real world. You can belong to any number of groups, access all of their information simultaneously and share information and work across the boundary lines, if warranted by the owner organization.

OfficeClip.com applications are currently used by a variety of small to medium sized businesses, including technology start-ups, as well as functional teams within the largest organizations, including Ernst & Young, Georgia Pacific, J.P. Morgan and Excite@Home. OfficeClip.com is a VeriSign Secure Site.
