New data capture solutions enhance Workbrain for Healthcare
TORONTO, Feb. 26 / -- Workbrain Corporation (TSX: WB), the leading provider of workforce management solutions for large enterprises, today announced that it will be showcasing Workbrain for Healthcare at the HIMSS 2007 Annual Conference and Exhibition. Workbrain has teamed with Cisco to significantly enhance workforce productivity by revolutionizing the century-old time clock. Workbrain for Healthcare takes advantage of Cisco's leading voice and data network to provide the industry's first integrated voice and data solution that allows real-time, two-way communication between employees, supervisors and workforce management systems through an Internet Protocol (IP) phone. The solution allows employees to complete workforce management transactions through IP telephones and interact in real time with supervisors at the employees' work department, thereby eliminating the labor time lost walking back and forth between the time clock to the work department. The technology is being showcased at the HIMSS 2007 Annual Conference and Exhibition being held in New Orleans from February 25 to March 1, 2007. Workbrain is exhibiting in booth 2711.
Cisco Unified IP Phones provide a dramatic improvement in accessibility, affordability, manageability, performance and security over traditional time clocks. Employees can use Cisco Unified IP Phones to perform tasks such as punching in or out of work and floating to a different department. Cisco's unified voice and data backbone allows employees to also connect in real time with their supervisors, at the point of work, to immediately close the loop on operational workforce tasks. Combined with Workbrain's leading proactive alerts and notifications, Workbrain's total workforce management solution provides the most seamless interchange between organizations and their workforces in the industry.
"We believe that this is the most significant change to the time clock in one hundred years," said Tony Marzulli, Vice President of Products and Marketing at Workbrain. "This technology turns every IP phone into a data capture point, bringing real-time interactivity right to the point of work, without requiring any additional hardware investment. Eliminating traditional time clocks removes the negative stigma associated with clocks for healthcare professionals, and allows them to perform workforce tasks such as punching in or out, changing departments or activity codes anywhere there is a Cisco Unified IP phone."
