Radical New Office Management Tool Online

Monitor Media is pleased to announce the full launch of TOMMIE - the online office management system that gives staff and managers unprecedented levels of control over their business lives.

TOMMIE - which stands for Total Office Management Made Incredibly Easy - is a suite of online tools that come together seamlessly via a single web page. Shared diaries, expenses, timesheets, job codes, holidays, contacts - all can be managed by staff and analysed by managers, completely intuitively.

Because the entire system is web-based, access is limited only by the availability of an internet connection. TOMMIE works beautifully with PCs, Macs, PDAs and Smartphones - a world first? The massive growth in mobile internet availability (3G, WiFi etc.) and the preponderance of connected devices means that TOMMIE is never more than a few seconds away.

But the significance of TOMMIE's launch goes way beyond cross-platform compatibility and ease of access. Not only can managers give staff the wherewithal to administer their own working lives, but they can use a variety of 'back office' reporting tools to give their business a health check. Timesheet and cost centre summaries clearly show which customers and projects suck up the most resource. Further transparency is provided in the areas of staff expenses and attendance. Reports can be broken down by date, time period, individual or department, with clever use of icons and colour coding providing rapid 'at-a-glance' information too.

Managers will see massive efficiencies come from TOMMIE's ability to coordinate diaries, reserve meeting rooms, generate email reminders and ban clashes of people, resources, holidays and so on. TOMMIE further boosts productivity by managing staff holiday allocations and automating the application and approval process. Expense claims can also be processed electronically, enhanced by features such as integrated cost centre codes and auto-totalling.

HR and accounts managers will be delighted at the standardisation of staff tools and corresponding forms, whilst all managers will be relieved to know that priceless Contacts are stored centrally and not spread around individual employees' PDAs. Employers keen to comply with the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act will be further impressed by TOMMIE's high levels of accessibility and DDA compliance, believed to be the best available.

Priced on a per-user basis, companies are charged retrospectively at a rate of just 10 pence per day. Viewed another way, this outlay is about the same as an employer buying a large cup of coffee for each member of staff once a month - the productivity boost being considerably higher!

Targeted primarily at SMEs and 'loose' organisations with multiple offices and remote workers, TOMMIE represents a real and powerful alternative to the technical challenges and frustrations of syncing multiple devices and the cost of deploying (and then maintaining) a complex exchange server system.

A FREE 30 DAY TRIAL is offered from the TOMMIE website, which also contains a number of pre-recorded demos. A fully live demo is also available for an instant look at most of the functionality.
