Agfa Selects eBridge Solutions\' ScheduleFLEX PRO
Greenville, S.C. - eBridge Solutions, a software, network and security solutions provider, was selected by Agfa's HealthCare Business Group to implement ScheduleFLEX PRO to manage the national Professional Services Organization.
The software, ScheduleFlex Professional, gives the Agfa master scheduling group the ability to better manage and monitor the Professional Services Organization. eBridge's full range of involvement in this project includes the application design, development and deployment.
"Our focus is to increase customer satisfaction year over year while growing profitably. As a result, the US Healthcare Services Group within Agfa Corporation is continually investing in technologies to stay ahead of the competition,\" said Agfa\'s Director of Service Operations, Sean Elledge. "It was essential to have a scheduling tool that would increase the efficiencies in the field. We have a growing professional services business, this success has brought with it the need to look at more effective methods of managing resources. We believe ScheduleFLEX will help us achieve this".
ScheduleFLEX offers the master scheduling team a window to view, modify, deploy and approve division of labor as it relates to respective implementation services throughout the country. ScheduleFLEX uses business logic to match specific skill sets with projects while automating the view for the next available resource in a given Region.
Because of the growing resource base, "Agfa's master scheduling group needed to look at other products/ tools could help them develop their business more effectively. ScheduleFLEX Professional provides collaboration and automation of the scheduling process, providing management with valuable ROI," said Scott Boswell, President and CEO of eBridge Solutions.
ScheduleFlex Professional will quickly allow the master scheduling group to find personnel and resource availability, view consultants' schedules, produce daily, weekly and monthly calendar views with the benefit of email and calendar integration. ScheduleFlex Professional will ease the workflow approval process between the scheduling group, regional managers and the implementation team.
"Building on the success of our other scheduling system, ScheduleFLEX for Manufacturing which is deployed at locations across the nation, ScheduleFLEX Professional is a natural progression of our software suite and we are looking forward to a successful deployment with Agfa", added Brad Cunningham, eBridge Solutions' CTO.
