An Outlook Collaboration Solution

and its impact on user roles

Automation Centre created Bizco, a fictitious company, to show how our Outlook collaboration solution integrates into typical organizational processes. The Bizco characters: Victor Vice President, Ashley Admin, Mark Manager, Hannah HR and the others, all demonstrate how they use TrackerOffice's collaborative software, and the impact they've had their work.

The Bizco characters are a part of our own work process as well- we write and test all of our collaborative software, Tracker Suite and TrackerOffice, with the characters in mind. These characters also play a role in our Tracker demo software, as users take on the role of each of the Bizco characters while they explore the work environment of our collaboration solution and test its functionality.

The Bizco characters are rapidly making a name in the collaborative software community, and were the subject of an article in Entrepreneur magazine - Building Character - Art Imitates Life for This Entrepreneur.

		Victor Vice-President - Executive "Features, smeachures! I don't care what it does, I just want to know what we're doing!"
		Ashley Admin - Administration "I'm tired of the paper chase! I want information at my fingertips- I need something that can streamline our operations!"
		Mark Manager - Project Manager "I'm juggling too many projects! I need something to track our efforts and help me manage my teams!"
		Boris Beancounter - Accounting "I'm tired of double-checking expense and purchase reports, shuffling through customer files, and being the last to know about changed project deadlines!"
		Joe User - Project Staff "I just want to be able to get the info I need, whenever I need it, to finish my tasks on time."
