STAFFeasy™ 2.4.5 offers new online survey questionnaire feature and strengthens project management tools providing users more options to effectively and successfully manage project stages and staffing needs

Orange, CA. – October 26, 2006 – PDSI announces today the availability of STAFFeasy 2.4.5, the latest version of its Web-based event and project scheduling, staffing and notification solution. The new version offers organizations several capabilities that enhance event and project management and further automate daily, labor-intensive staff scheduling processes. The new features continue to build on successes of previous versions and reaffirm STAFFeasy as a powerful, single platform that can be used by all member levels within an organization offering a clear picture of events and projects, work assignments, available resources, project status, communications, and overall event and project completion.

This release is a direct result of customer feedback and requests for specific features and integrating them into the STAFFeasy solution. Some major enhancements include the survey questionnaire feature which allows users to create custom surveys online. Questionnaires can be created in free text, single choice, multiple choice or rating scales and attach to events wherein certain personnel are granted access to respond. Completed responses can quickly and easily download for instant viewing and analysis, and may be securely shared. Additionally, users now have the ability to create new projects in STAFFeasy that may contain events occurring at one or more organizations. This new project management tool allows for greater multi-project efficiency, a more comprehensive overview of project status and improved accountability for successful completion of all work. Further enhancements include the ability to report on expired staffing attributes as well as at-a-glance identification of expired time-constrained, or not yet valid, staffing attributes.
