Shared Performance Releases Microsoft Outlook Integration to Better Manage Results
Phoenix, AZ – October 8, 2012 — Shared Performance, the leader in the development of Enterprise Outcome Management (EOM) Solutions, announced today the introduction of SP Attain for Microsoft Outlook. The upgrade streamlines the proactive management of individual and team achievements that are linked to business strategy within the Outlook environment.
This extension to the SP Attain suite enables organizations to drive increased achievement levels and recognition with integrated results-based performance measurement and management through a highly utilized existing platform. The addition provides a full view of an individual’s priorities with the capability to edit or direct actions for the specific achievements they own. The alerts and notifications of activities and milestones that are visible within Outlook enable one-click access to performance information. The real-time insight advances the opportunity to proactively manage the achievement of measurable results to accomplish individual and organizational objectives.
“The integrated access to SP Attain through Outlook dramatically speeds deployment and adoption of Outcome Management, ultimately helping to drive higher levels of performance for the organization as well as employees, contractors, partners and stakeholders.” said Mitch Lawrie, vice president Enterprise Outcome Management for Shared Performance. “With individuals now having instant access to view, manage and communicate their Outcomes status in the familiar and highly frequented Outlook environment, a company can spend less time driving activity-tracking behavior and focus more on achieving results.”
SP Attain for Outlook now offers users and managers full access to the SP Achievement Panel within their Outlook software. The embedded reference centralizes achievement behaviors and activities into daily practices for individuals, managers and executives. The ability to monitor progress is simplified within the integrated report features of SP Attain. By leveraging the unique ability to measure enterprise-wide achievement, participants can understand in real-time what they have successfully achieved and how well they are progressing activities they own.
Management can easily monitor team members’ results and advancements in real-time, along with contributors’ progress and critical warnings. The SP Achievement Report appears in the Outlook Folder View Pane to help proactively guide users and management towards successful completion of their responsibilities and the organization’s strategic objectives.
“We are committed to finding ways for more people and organizations to perform to their potential and the new Outlook integration shows how important it is to utilize their existing productivity and communication tools, not add more.” said David De Spong, CEO and Founder of Shared Performance.
Other productivity platforms in addition to Microsoft Outlook will be supported in future releases. This interaction also demonstrates the importance and value of linking and aligning the variety of workflow transactional systems used on a daily basis to the enterprise achievement framework inside Shared Performance’s Enterprise Outcome Management solution.
