Are we soldiers? Yes, on the Cubicle front!

Posted on by

This is an excerpt from one of our clients of BizMerlin, he is not only a client now but a good friend and mentor also. And most of the contents are his words which I had noted down and put them in some sequence. Thanks Andrew!

Not sure, how many times have I dreamt of my bosses and my team leads asking about my status reports or my goals; not sure how many times I have woken up with beads of sweat rolling down my forehead and my throat choking with unquenchable thirst; not sure how many times I have made resolutions to be more systematic than previous years and to keep a documentation of all my status reports after which I will always be equipped to answer my boss’ question, “Andrew, what did you do last week or two weeks earlier?”

We are soldiers, on the cubicle front where every day we are bombarded with numerous queries regarding the leads we closed or lost or negotiated and we are always expected to be well equipped with our performance reports, our achievements, our goals, our targets etc. Status reports usually solve lots of these issues and problems. It also gives lots of confidence to the employees as well as to their team leads or project managers. While filling the status reports, employees spend some time thinking what they did in the current week. They can go through their calendars, sales leads/opportunities and the activities they logged for each opportunity, tasks they completed etc. to support their status reports. BizMerlin Analytics can also provide graphs and charts to cut short the story and introduce quick analysis. Managers and Team leads also get a chance to be little happy and relaxed because if each member in the team uses BizMerlin and submit their status reports then Team leads have the exact number of performance points almost ready to be delivered.

Slaes Management Module

BizMerlin does all of this and much more. It is little ahead of just “status reports”. So instead of sharing the status reports weekly, activities on important opportunities and leads can be shared real time. For example, I am already negotiating a deal with the client and I know that team lead is very keen on this deal to go through, then as soon as i login the details of the meeting with the opportunity, I also to notify the team lead and get his adrenaline rushing faster to close that deal!! It can bring so much excitement and enthusiasm in team!

BizMerlin’s sales management module is so easy, simple and yet comprehensive. The flow is intuitive and easy-going with lots of functionality that makes the work a heck of a lot easier. I can also set reminders for my leads that I want to follow and can archive the leads that I want to catch up later.

I am in fourth age of my life – adulthood , preceded by infancy, adolescent and youth – where I am expected to be a soldier and a warrior! My values and performance, tested by bosses and the workplace … start to reflect who I am. And I ready to fight for what is right and just. I will not let anyone stamp upon my dreams to excel in my work life and move ahead of me. I have my mightiest sword, shining and sharpened, BizMerlin to always assist me in the times I need most and to allow me to sleep peacefully. As, no longer, I wake up dreaming about my boss asking about my status report. It is always in his inbox!

Multi-currency and task management feature

Posted on by

BizMerlin announces significant updates to its project and time management software. In these new releases, customers are now able to handle and track tasks from BizMerlin; earlier we recommended using Basecamp or Fogbugz for bug tracking. Another major release has been allowing the expense management in various currencies. User can now select the currencies and submit the expense sheets specific to the geographic location.

The new multiple currency features have already impressed long time multinational customers. These companies, which have staff employed all over the world, can now review, compare and analyze their costs in any currency. For a multinational company, whose employees all stay close to home, and which has world-wide clients, the multi-currency features are equally beneficial when preparing contract bids or invoicing.

“BizMerlin’s goals in these product releases were to assist companies in managing, not only their time, expenses and projects, but also help them manage these in the reality of corporate expansion and outsourcing.”

Available as either a hosted service or an on-premise installation, both products are available for a FREE 45 day trial.

Immediate Benefits of multi-currency feature:

  • Expenses can be specific to a particular project and specific location. This will help in easy analysis of expenses and help to bill projects when you use more than one currency to pay employees, or to bill your international clients.
  • Track and budget project costs in any currency.
  • Analyze and report on any project, in any currency.
  • Enter expenses purchased from anywhere in the world.

Immediate Benefits of task management feature:

  • One integrated application that takes care of all the project needs, right from the inception of the task to the resolution of the task.
  • Projects and tasks can be integrated to pull out a comprehensive report to be analyzed for easier decision making.
