FranklinCovey (NYSE:FC)
announced today it now includes applications for BlackBerry®
smartphones in its new release of PlanPlus
for Microsoft® Outlook®
v.5, the company's planning
and information management application. The new PlanPlus
applications for BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM)
(Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) include the FranklinCovey Prioritized Task
List, Master Task List and Daily Notes.
PlanPlus for Outlook v.5
enhances Outlook by seamlessly integrating the proven planning methods
from FranklinCovey within the familiar Outlook environment. This version
has multiple new features: A redesigned Daily Task Management module,
new applications for BlackBerry and Pocket
PC devices, new printing enhancements, and more, including existing Palm
applications. The upgrade is compatible with Windows XP and Windows
Vista, Microsoft Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007. The software was
created in collaboration with Agilix®,
FranklinCovey's development partner.
Jeff Anderson, Senior Vice President of Product Management for
FranklinCovey, said, "FranklinCovey is
pleased to add BlackBerry-compatible applications to this new version of
PlanPlus for Outlook, which is also Palm
and Pocket PC
compatible. Now, BlackBerry
customers can take advantage of the renowned FranklinCovey planning
methods to be more productive and effective in achieving their most
important goals, as well as carrying their important information with
them on their BlackBerry smartphone."
In addition to the current award-winning FranklinCovey Pocket Informant
applications, which include a Prioritized Task List, Master Task List,
Projects and Daily Notes, this version includes several new Pocket PC
applications: Mission/Values, Goals, and Compass with a Role builder,
all of which are Windows Mobile 5 and 6 compatible. A full version of
Pocket Informant for the Pocket PC is also included with the purchase of
PlanPlus for Outlook v.5.
This version also features existing Palm handheld applications for Palm
OS®. In addition to standard sync
functionality, Palm® customers can utilize
their Prioritized Task List, Master Task List, Daily Notes, Projects,
Mission/Values, Goals and Compass and Roles applications on their Palm
device.
PlanPlus for Outlook v.5 is completely redesigned for faster and easier
integration with Outlook. Customers can customize the Home Page
according to their preference with adjustable window panes and the
ability to view multiple calendars. The new user interface allows
customers the ability to view tasks or projects, appointments and notes
or e-mail modules - all on one screen. The
navigation bar along the top of the screen allows easy accessibility to
Notes, Daily Tasks, Project Manager, Weekly Planning and "Coach
Me” Dynamic Help. The Task List supports
customizable columns and a rich-text editor which allows customers full
customization ability as they capture important information with new
Infinotes and Daily Notes modules.
Also new in this version is a robust daily task management module.
Customers can use Quick Prioritize for 10-15 minutes each day to
prioritize their tasks by importance using drag-and-drop
functionality. Quick Prioritize now gives customers full editing
capability for tasks, plus the ability to change task status and the
ability to add, delete or move tasks to a future day. By using Quick
Prioritize daily to plan and organize tasks, customers can increase
their productivity by focusing on and completing their most leveraged
tasks in order of importance.
The completely redesigned printing module now provides traditional
FranklinCovey Planning Page customers with high quality printouts of
PlanPlus and Outlook data, which can be printed in all four
FranklinCovey planning page sizes, allowing customers to print and carry
their vital information with them.
The Project Manager allows customers the ability to manage basic
projects and track project tasks, all within a user-friendly interface
that is directly integrated with the FranklinCovey Prioritized Task
List. Project Manager supports customizable columns to display
additional information such as priority, flags, owner, category, due
date and more on one screen. To simplify the reporting process, Project
Manager can easily generate summary or detailed email project reports at
the touch of a button. Additionally, using a Microsoft Exchange Server,
customers can delegate a task and see its progress or completion on
their own list as progress changes are made by the individual to whom
the task was delegated. Project Manager also supports templates and copy
and paste functionality.
PlanPlus for Microsoft Outlook is based on the FranklinCovey Planning
System and includes tools to assist customers in getting organized and
focusing on priorities to increase effectiveness. The software includes
the Weekly Planning and Goal Planning tools taught in FranklinCovey's FOCUS:
Achieving Your Highest Priorities workshop (http://www.franklincovey.com/fc/training_and_consulting)
to assist users in implementing planning methods and also supports the
planning portion of The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People®
workshop.
Customers can use the "Coach Me”
Dynamic Help feature which provides examples and resources for using all
of the FranklinCovey tools. Exclusive interactive "Wizards”
teach customers how to discover their mission and values, set and
achieve goals, create balance in their professional and personal roles,
and construct a realistic weekly plan to achieve the highest priorities
in their lives.
