Intent Version 3.0 Released

Monday, July 22nd, 2002

Opening the door to a new era of enterprise collaboration, CodeFab Enterprise Solutions announced the public release of Intent V3.0, a dynamic task accountability system that transforms a modern company, team or department from a collection of individuals to a cohesive working unit.

Intent is a powerful and easy to use web, web services and email based application that helps teams manage the myriad of issues that arise when people work together. The system increases project productivity by tracking all outstanding issues, clearly identifying responsible parties, consolidating related communication and actively notifying managers and team members about progress. By providing real-time oversight of the team’s activities, managers can make better decisions and workers remain focused on solving the right problems.

“The key is to never drop a ball,” says Alex Cone, CodeFab’s CEO (and amateur juggler). “When you are managing a project, you need to know where all the balls are, all the time. Tools like Microsoft’s Projectâ„¢ can help with the planning exercise - if you put in a big up-front effort, your problem doesn’t change and you don’t mind approximations. But when the project gets underway, and the balls start flying, these tools fall down on the job. People will throw in new task balls all throughout the project, so you need a dynamic solution like Intent that embraces change, lets the team see what is going on with every task and clearly communicates who is responsible for keeping their eye on each and every one. Personal responsibility is just good business.”

Intent is an ideal partner for today’s highly dynamic business environment. Adjusting easily to changing project teams and rapidly evolving requirements, Intent ensures that no task falls through the cracks. Intent’s ubiquitous web and email interface means you are always kept in the loop and your projects are always just a click away.

“Four the last four years, Intent has been our secret weapon,” says Bill Bumgarner, CTO at CodeFab. “We honed this application in the fire of large team, mission critical consulting projects for top client companies. Until now, Intent was exclusively available to CodeFab’s professional services customers. Intent version 3.0 is faster, friendlier, more flexible and, with a powerful web services interface, able to connect with the rest of the world. And it is finally available to everyone!”

CodeFab sells Intent directly as a service on the web at www.IntentCenter.com and requires no software download. For dedicated server solutions that fit the size of your business contact CodeFab or an Intent reseller.
