Proactive alerts
Off-Team’s innovative ‘Change Agents’ gives users instant access to business critical information.

This capability offers enormous management benefits to individuals and teams, by allowing them to monitor any project, document, revision, workflow, or event anywhere on the system across multiple projects or throughout the organisation. Users can receive up-to-the-minute notification of any changes made to, for example, a particular drawing or a drawing register.

Change Agents integrate with automatic business processes, providing notification via any standard email system when a particular workflow is running late, allowing managers the opportunity to identify bottlenecks and delays.

Discussion forums
The eLink module extends project and organisational collaboration. This allows users to participate in discussions using their own email service without being online and provides them with detailed notification of events within Off-Team. It is easy to learn and use, so users can easily subscribe or unsubscribe to eLink discussions as they please. All email messages support inbound and outbound attachments, ensuring that collaboration is improved by encouraging users to share ideas and promote innovation.

It is easy to drag and drop documents and folders between Off-Team and desktop applications using Off-Team’s Explorer module. Significant time savings can be gained through an easy to navigate interface, which supports bulk multiple documents uploads via the Internet. There are also reduced training costs resulting from little or no training required with the familiar Microsoft Explorer interface. Simple right-click gives access to Off-Team’s powerful functionality, such as fetch and view documents, add versions, initiate workflow, and search for information.
