MORGANTOWN, W.Va., May 25, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Organizations are discovering that outsourcing can reduce overhead costs, but it can also fragment teams. TeamIntel for Virtual Outsourcing Teams (TeamIntel-VOT) reduces that "piecemealing" effect, by making it easier for contracted workers and employees to work more closely together.
TeamIntel is a virtual teamwork system, which allows distributed team members to meet in a secure online environment where they can task, share documents, track progress, collaborate and coordinate complex projects. TeamIntel's outsourcing solution is tailored to the unique demands of managing and coordinating contractors.
"With hundreds or thousands of activities and documents to coordinate, managers who use TeamIntel-VOT find it easier to keep track of who's handling what, where to find critical documents, and identify bottlenecks," said Cary Landis, Product Manager for TeamIntel. "Even more important, contractors feel more like a genuine member of the team."
TeamIntel-VOT includes integrated features for meeting, action item tracking, document sharing, form routing, and notifications of late tasks. Managers can even monitor performance to identify potential bottlenecks, resource deficiencies or contractor underperformance issues. Advanced features include workflow, document version control and remote web access. What's more, TeamIntel is SQL Server-enabled and offers a plug-in kit for enterprise users to customize and integrate with legacy systems.
