Flowfinity Wireless Announces Enterprise Edition of Flowfinity Actions 4
Flowfinity Actions 4 Enterprise Edition includes Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Providing Enterprises with a Comprehensive Reporting Platform
Orlando, FL - Flowfinity Wireless, a leading provider of wireless application products and platforms, today announced Flowfinity Actions 4 Enterprise Edition. Flowfinity Actions is a comprehensive "out-of-the-box" application for automating the business processes that field forces are engaged in; dynamically keeping management informed of both the status of individual tasks and, with comprehensive reporting, the impact of the field force on the business as a whole. The enterprise edition, which includes a license to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, features multi-team management features and new customization capabilities to provide a comprehensive platform for reporting that extends Flowfinity Actions 4 beyond workforce automation and into business process management. Like Flowfinity Actions 4 Team Edition, the Enterprise Edition is designed for use with BlackBerry® from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM).
"Flowfinity Actions is now our most successful product, featuring large deployments in some very large organizations," said Larry Wilson, Vice President Sales & Marketing of Flowfinity Wireless. "To meet the demands of large enterprises, like the many Fortune 500 clients we have, it is important that the product provides central control of multi-department and multi-team deployments while still providing the customization and flexibility that each of those departments and teams require."
Using Flowfinity Actions 4, businesses can impact their business significantly in 3 major areas:
1. improve mobile worker effectiveness with automated, paperless data collection in the field;
2. empower management with dynamic, interactive approval and assignment capabilities; and
3. enable management with timely insight into field operations with comprehensive reporting capabilities.
This three-part impact is provided in a powerful "out of the box" solution that is easily configured by a non-programmer. This offering is unique since this product:
- Uniquely combines data access, data collection, team-based workflow, and business intelligence.
- Is fully functional as a stand-alone application, but can also be fully integrated with other Enterprise applications.
- Provides a performance benefit to not only the workers in the field, but also to their managers in the office.
- Enables end-to-end management of a critical business process.
- Provides a closed-loop management system where organizations can continuously improve their operations.
"Corporate and government organizations around the world are embracing the BlackBerry platform to mobilize a wide range of enterprise applications and improve productivity and competitive advantage in the field," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing, Research In Motion. "Flowfinity Actions for BlackBerry provides customers with an easy way to automate business processes involving field service or field sales teams to meet specific business needs."
Flowfinity Actions 4 Enterprise Edition is being showcased this week at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium 2006 in Orlando (visit booth #150).
