Don't quit it - TasqIT

Not meeting deadlines? Tasks slipping through the cracks? Lack of accountability? Sleepless nights keeping track of deliverables?

Johannesburg, 01 Mar 2011

Using the power and versatility of the FlowCentric BPM engine, TasqIT offers management a workflow-enabled task management solution for any operational task.

With TasqIT, you will have a dashboard view of all of your tasks, you can see the status of tasks at any time, and reminder prompts are automatically sent to the relevant people, ensuring that tasks are completed.

Using the application's simple .NET 4 based interface, a user can swiftly define the rules and flow of a project. Task requirements can be detailed, a due date provided for the completion of the tasks and controls can be set, ie, do not execute B until A has been completed.

Once these controls have been defined, the task originator can relax, as the system will monitor the progress of this project and ensure the successful completion of the entire process, according to the original mandate.

An effective task management system must enable its originator to decide, on the fly, who should be included in the hierarchy or structure of tasks. TasqIT goes a step further and allows task participants who were granted the relevant permissions by the originator, to create their own hierarchies. This is known as unstructured workflow, which in effect allows a task to propagate on its own.

A task could consist of multiple down-the-line tasks and needs to be fully auditable and/or traceable. Using the FlowCentric engine inherently enables the tracking of a task. Other than compliancy, TasqIT ensures that all tasks can be monitored throughout the task life cycle.

TasqIT is a Web-enabled solution; therefore, tasks can be made visible within the organisation as well as outside. As long as an employee has some form of connection to the Internet, such as via a mobile device or a landline connection, they can access the system and check on their task lists. Reminders are sent to the relevant people via Microsoft Office Outlook, e-mails and SMS servers ensuring effective and timely completion of tasks. Employees' efficiency and effectiveness in completing the tasks allocated to them can now be measured. For example: How many tasks has a particular employee executed on time? Where is the bottleneck? What is the average outstanding task per individual?

These are just a few of the benefits the TasqIT system offers.
