New GrandView Features for Release 7.1
GrandView 7.1 is out and it's packed with enhancements and updates. We've converted the last of our old ASP technology and improved project execution. The GrandView application also now supports an employee bio/resume module. This is coupled with a global categories system that can be applied to projects, proposals and employees to make staffing and resource management even easier. More details about two of our newest features follow.
New Global Categories
Sales people want more ways to categorize their proposals to improve accuracy and consistency of sales information. Project managers often need to categorize their projects for better execution as well as feedback information to sales. And managers are always looking for more ways to categorize employees' skills and experience to staff projects efficiently and effectively. The new global categories functionality allows administrators to define categories for Industries/Applications, Services, Manufacturers/Products, and other Keywords. These categories can then be associated with proposals, projects, and employees (through the new employee profile functionality). Project categories are automatically inherited when tied to proposals and employees can update their profile to include relevant experience in the various categories. New proposal, project, and employee data views and SideBar searches have also been added to allow users to filter information by category.
