Improve team productivity

Business users and content authors can create and submit content for approval and scheduled deployment to intranet or Internet sites. Managing multilingual content is simplified through new document library templates that are specifically designed to maintain a relationship between the original version and different translations of a document

Give your employees access to real-time, interactive Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets from a Web browser through Excel Services running on Process Management Suite. Use these spreadsheets to maintain and efficiently share one central and up-to-date version while helping to protect any proprietary information embedded in the documents (such as financial models).

Process Management Suite helps your organization get more done by providing a platform for sharing information and working together in teams, communities and people-driven processes. Process Management Suite integrates with other collaborative products to offer a comprehensive infrastructure for working with others.

High performing teams are a key to better business results.

• Give users the ability to create and control their own collaborative workspaces. Make it easy for teams to adapt workspaces to the needs of the project.
  
• Manage projects more efficiently with the project task list template. Visualize task relationships and project status with automated Gantt charts.
  
• Coordinate teamwork with shared calendars, alerts and notifications. Connect team calendars to the desktop with Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007.
  
• Communicate with team members in context using presence and instant messaging.
  
• Make it easy to include and work with team members from outside the organization.
  

Author, review, and publish documents

Improvements in key document-centric processes produce better content in less time.

• Use document workspaces to streamline the document creation process.
  
• Enable disconnected participation with offline support.
  
• Manage the document lifecycle with integrated Enterprise Content Management (ECM) capabilities.
  

Streamline people-driven business processes

Improved communication and coordination in people-driven processes means more rigorous execution in traditionally hard-to-reach parts of the business.

• Deploy standard site templates to improve common people driven processes like issue tracking.
  
• Drive out process variation with workflow.
  
• collaborative applications using integrated application development capabilities.
  

Create, capture, and share community knowledge

Sharing best practices in expert communities drives awareness and adoption of business process innovation.

• Broadcast information with blogs and Really Simple Syndication (RSS).
  
• Capture community knowledge with wikis.
  
• Encourage dialogue with surveys and discussions.
  

Dosage Monitor

For hospitals, to diminish human error in the delivery of a drug protocol, we provide an “electronic checklist” of completed and upcoming tasks with urgent notifications to appropriate hospital staff for past due activities.

• Dashboard provides a high-level overview of the status of labs and the dispensing of a specific drug, such as Coumadin.
• Records patients on a specific drug protocol, including:
  1. Risk factors and drug interactions
  2. Record of dosages administered
  3. Next scheduled dosage, which may be calculated and pre-filled or entered manually.
  4. Record of when lab specimens are taken, sent to the lab and received back from the lab.
  5. Checks that lab reports have been reviewed.
  6. Next scheduled labs.
• Reports
• Security
