Westford, MA (PRWEB) October 6, 2004 -– TaskMapTM software released by Harvard Computing Group, Inc. dramatically simplifies the documentation and management of processes. The software uses a new method that incorporates six symbols and supporting software to create powerful, easy to read process maps.
Simple, Powerful and Affordable. TaskMapTM incorporates patent pending technologies and methods to ensure that users of the system create process maps that can be shared across the organization. The method makes it simple to document detailed information about the resources and the staff that are required to complete the tasks in a process. In addition, users can capture the guidelines, rules, regulations or policies that control how each task is completed. TaskMap’s unique graphical representation communicates what needs to be done without requiring separate reports. A simplified hyperlinking scheme permits connection of the process map to underlying data, documents or systems, thereby providing a means to connect users directly with relevant resources and tools.
Every organization is challenged with issues related to their processes. Whether the challenge is governance, efficiency, quality or operational change, processes provide the road map for how work has to be, or should be, done. TaskMapTM is designed to allow anyone to document processes, regardless of their subject matter expertise or prior process mapping experience.
"Making business process tools accessible to business people is essential if software is to play a significant role in enabling process excellence" notes Tom Koulopoulos, President/CEO of the Delphi Group in Boston, MA. Harvard Computing Group used this requirement as the primary driver for the development of the TaskMapTM system, focusing completely on ease of use and understanding.
Mike Cunningham, Founder and CEO of the Harvard Computing Group notes, “Many years of experience helping clients to define and refine processes are captured in the TaskMap concept and product. Our goal is to do for processes what the spreadsheet did for financial models – make them accessible to everyone.”
TaskMapTM licenses include a simple symbol set and software for re-numbering tasks, controlling task attribute display options, customizing lists of organizational role names, and adding hyperlinks. The introductory price of $199 includes extensive on-line help and training to assist the novice user in becoming familiar with the system. TaskMap is a Microsoft Visio® add-on, requiring, at minimum, the Standard version of Visio 2002 or 2003.
With many organizations facing challenges related to Sarbanes-Oxley, ISO9000, Six Sigma and HIPAA implementations, TaskMapTM provides critical input to the organization about how and when processes are executed, and is designed to make it easy for anyone to develop, document and improve their processes.
TaskMapTM is available immediately and can be purchased on-line at the TaskMap web site.
