Making your system look like you.

What do you want to see first up?
| Dear
We recognise the importance of having a project management system that shows you just what you want to see on your desktop - nothing more and nothing less.
Everyone in your organisation has a different idea of what their priorities are for each day and what they first want to see when they log in.
Being able to customise the content and layout of a desktop to show the sections of the system most used for quick access has to improve the appreciation and acceptance of any system.
Workamajig allows the user to drag 'widgets' from a list over to the desktop as a permanent display until otherwise modified. Anyone with the appropriate security access can select their choice.
An Account Exec may want
- My Active Projects
- My Items to Approve
- Company Calendar
while a Financial Controller prefers -
- Metrics Monitor
- Billable Efficiency
- Cash on Hand
and a Creative -
- My Tasks
- My Time Sheets
We have also learned that not only the 'Creatives' would prefer to select their own colour options, background images, font size, etc. so Workamajig has made it happen. Your system can look like you!
A 'speedbar' is also provided at the top of the screen for quick access to parts of the system you use frequently, which saves selecting from a drop down menu for any area change.
A 'Recent' button shows the last few areas you were in if you are working on several projects at once.
Clearer = faster = less stress = Workamajig

Quick Time Sheets
|
Ask six artists or designers from your studio to nominate how they want to allocate their time to a task, and you will probably get six different answers.
Wouldn't it be great to please them all!
Workamajig enables time allocation:
- straight from a daily or weekly time sheet on a desktop, which can be customised
- to be self approved or submitted for approval
- to allow for comments from the submitter and/or approver
- to generate reminders if expected timesheets are late
- using stop watches for one or more projects simultaneously
- with timesheets pre-filled with allocated tasks as an option
Quick and easy timesheet entry means more accurate allocation, which is surely the object of the exercise.

Workamajig
|
 A web-based tracking and integrated project management software, Workamajig streamlines new business and sales leads, assigns staff to tasks,offers detailed project trafficking, and manages the whole project cycle through to accounting and financial reporting.
One of the strengths is a brilliant option for file reviews and approvals. This function can be used to route files or web URLs to the project team members for their feedback. The reviewer can approve or reject the item and the system will store the results in the project. Files can be sent out to several contacts at once, or in a selected order that progresses only when each stage of the contact list approves.An interactive diary adds notes related to the project so they are stored as part of the project's history. This can be made visible to the client - or not - and can be emailed to the project team members when saved.Please click on our link for more detail. Workamajig website |

About Us
Our
director, Rondelle Taylor, has had
ten years experience as the financial controller of a medium sized agency,
handling a wide variety of project types and sizes.
Recognising the problems of not having an adequate system for project
management and profit tracking, and the need for the integration of separate
systems (Excel, Word, and Myob etc.) led to the current consultancy role.
Maintaining a detailed analysis of available software solutions enables
Software Downunder to recommend a system to best fit your needs.
About You
You
need the software solution that suits the size of your business and the
complexity of your projects. If your projects are simple and you currently have fewer than 10 people handling them, your software requirements may be simple
also. Speak to our consultants about alternative software packages for your
best fit.
