(TROY, Mich.)— They say necessity is the mother of invention, and from such necessity Troy, Michigan based Media Genesis has invented a new application that will streamline the corporate assignment process.

Media Genesis’ “Whiteboard” application, named after the traditional markerboard style of assignment giving, utilizes advanced programming protocols to limit foot traffic and repetitive emailing as ways to check on a project’s status. Project managers and department heads can use the application to monitor an employee’s workload status as they work on varied assignments.

Using a web-portal, or online login, the program utilizes PHP and Adobe Flex programming technologies to make it user-friendly, graphically unique and aesthetically pleasing.

“Whiteboard” uses “microblogging” functionality, so popular today on sites like Twitter and Facebook, to allow employees to designate a color-coded status and a limited description of the workload. Employees are grouped according to department for easy survey and the employee statuses are fully sortable according to different categories.

“Being able to view status via a web portal helps both streamline and inform decisions about task delegation and greatly improves overall intra-company communication,” said Antoine Dubeauclard, president of Media Genesis.

WhiteBoard can be fully customized to conform to a company’s existing look-and-feel, as well as tailored to display specified fields of information.  The application is also integrable with existing information streamline tools such as intranets, Microsoft SharePoint, and web portals, tools which Media Genesis has also provided.

Media Genesis is a leading independent provider of programming solutions, intranets, Microsoft SharePoint, and a range of web development services. For more information please visit www.mediaG.com.
