Many businesses still do not use business tools that are available to help in collaboration.  That is why MIE Solutions has released a free version of MIE Dashboard that can be extended by purchasing additional widgets beyond task management, internal company chatting and document management.

MIE Dashboard now has an In/Out Board Widget.  Clicking on the MIE In/Out board icon will bring forward the MIE In/Out board application.  This application is very useful to keep track of where employees are and when they will arrive back into the office.  This is software version of an in/out board that will be placed onto your wall. All active users will be displayed and as a user, you will be able to click on the buttons to mark yourself as in, out, at lunch, end of day, etc.  If you double click on a user name in the list, you will be presented with a transaction log list of all the in/out entries for the specific employee.

There is now a simpler installation to MIE Dashboard.  A few things need to be installed before MIE Dashboard can be installed; Dot Net and SQL Server.  If they are not already installed, a prompt to install them will pop up.  One click and they are automatically installed.  This makes the installation go a lot faster and smoother.

MIE Docs is a revolutionary file management system designed for a single user up to an organization with thousands of users.  File management systems are designed to solve the problems associated with storing, managing, finding and tracking files used throughout an organization.  Organizations with hundreds of thousands of files lose files each day when files are stored on multiple computers, hard drives and backups.  MIE Docs File Management lowers the costs of handling and storing your documents and saves staff time by providing both instant access to your documents and business process automation.  MIE Docs centralizes the storage of files into an easy to use virtual drive.  MIE Docs has a seamless integration into Windows Explorer, which makes integrating with your documents in their native program simple.  Right Click, drag-n-drop, cut-and-paste are all available through the virtual MIE Docs drive.

MIE Docs Virtual drive is a technology that enables you to use MIE Docs as a network drive but the data is stored in SQL Server.  Enabling a virtual drive enables any windows application or dos application to make use of the files stored within MIE Docs.  MIE Docs does this by creating a local snapshot of the files, which will be used and maps a drive letter to these files. These files can now be manipulated like any other file on your computer system.  MIE Docs actions including checking in files, checking out files, adding files and file history are all available by right clicking on the file.  

MIE Files widget is a summary snapshot of files that you have checked out of MIE Docs, assigned files, files in progress by workflow and watched files. MIE Dashboard comes initially with the ability to manage 1000 files including version control, workflow, search capability and many other features. Please refer to the MIE Docs section of the manual for details on how to use this document management system.   Internal company chat that offers the ability to chat with any business associates without worrying about users chatting outside the company walls.  Chats can be associated to tasks and files.

Full integrated workflow system for tasks and document management.  In order to handle change management for the hundreds of thousands of documents a user definable workflow capability has been added to the document management system.  Tasks also have a workflow where tasks will be forwarded automatically to the next recipient as steps are completed.
