Less chat, higher productivity

Ever since instant messaging infiltrated the corporate desktop, people have been using chat" sessions to get quick status information. These impromptu conversations are often expedient, but their lack of structure makes them difficult to manage and track. A new messenger platform by Endogy gives better results by moving beyond simple chat.

(PRWEB) February 18, 2004 --Endogy announces the release of the Workflow Messenger version 2.0. This team communications application adds structure to conventional instant messaging and curbs unnecessary chat" by automatically synchronizing activities among team members. Through the Workflow Messenger, people can publish tasks, documents, events, contacts, and surveys to other people in their buddy lists.

The Endogy Workflow Messenger allows me to keep track of all my outstanding communications and action items simply and effectively. I've been so impressed with its ability to keep me organized that I plan to implement a workgroup using WFM for my whole team - across product development, engineering, and marketing," said Jon Odo of Digidesign, the world leader in the production of computer-based digital audio systems.

Keeping people in sync saves more than IM traffic -- it saves time by eliminating needless status" emails and weekly meetings. Endogys research suggests that as much as 15% of a typical workday can be spent on such forms of communications.

Because it is based upon the traditional instant messenger, Endogys product also allows for chat sessions. Conversations in the Workflow Messenger, however, may be attached to a particular task to add structure to the dialogue. All information is encrypted and archived.

Just about any kind of business activity can be published, revised, and tracked through the Workflow Messenger. While this can generate a huge amount of information, a sophisticated permissions system guarantees that the proper information gets to all the relevant people -- and only the relevant people. An expanded interface also allows users to structure and filter their activities according to personal taste.

Linking people through instant messaging can be more than just chat. When every member of a team has all the information he or she needs, the team can focus its efforts on getting the job done better and more quickly," said Jason Boorn, President of Endogy.

Endogy, Inc. Based in New York City, NY, Endogy delivers team-focused software and consulting solutions that streamline workflow, communications, and analysis from the bottom up.
