The Concept

Managers work from numerous, dissimilar lists - often on spreadsheets but sometimes hand written or in word processing documents. Since the lists are not integrated, it is impossible to quickly locate entries on different lists - e.g.
  • All tasks that are behind schedule for all projects
  • All items that might be of interest to the Executive Committee
  • All work assigned to an individual or committee

Because the entries are in spreadsheet or word processing files, it is not possible to prepare reports using selected fields and selected records- e.g.
  • Calendars for projects, individuals or the entire office
  • Reports showing all items assigned to specific persons or committees
  • Meeting minutes organized by subject rather than date and committee name

Combining the separate lists into one database solves both of these problems since databases are designed for retrieval, cross referencing and report generation. The primary issue is how to develop a database record structure that is powerful, flexible, easy to use and universal. That's what we did when we developed the Management Tracker. The program can be
  • Used in every office
  • Operates on standard office hardware and software
  • Installed and users up and running in less than two hours
  • Shared using a network drive
  • Tailored to each office by selecting which functions and which fields to use
  • Used in a completely free, fully operational evaluation mode
In summary, the Management Tracker is more powerful AND easier to use than the current collection of programs, templates and uncoordinated files found in offices today.
