Free Beta Version of Online Status Reporting Tool Available

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- OpenGate Software, provider of popular line of Microsoft Access application tools, announced today the availability of Simple Status, a new online service to manage weekly status reports (http://www.simple-status.com).  Simple Status helps managers and their employees quickly create and submit status reports online in an attractive format.  Automatic reminders and sent when status reports are due, and managers receive notification when new reports are ready to review.  Simple Status represents a novel way to handle the commonly inconvenient task of submitting weekly status reports to managers.

Simple Status is a secure, convenient service where employees create status reports, associate new items with major organizational- or company-wide initiatives, assign priorities to each item, and submit the report for review by their manager.  Managers can then promote one or more items to their own status report to communicate those status items to their superiors, allowing important status updates to cascade up the organizational hierarchy where needed.  Simple Status presents status reports in an attractive, newspaper-order format that easily elevates important items to the top of the report based on the user-selected order.

Rather than spend large amounts of time deciding upon status report frequency, format, and methods of submission such as email, Share Point, or shared network folder, users can rely on Simple Status for distribution, formatting, and automatic reminders.

During the fully-functional public beta, Simple Status is available free of charge for up to ten users per organization at:   http://www.simple-status.com
