McLaren Work Manager keeps track of documents

McLaren Software has released the McLaren Work Manager to simplify business processes involved with management of engineering and other business-critical documents.

The McLaren Work Manager and Enterprise Engineer help any organisation requiring teams of people to create, review, approve and publish engineering documentation.

Whether for compliance or internal efficiency purposes, McLaren Work Manager presents a familiar Microsoft interface, masking the complexity of the business processes to be applied.

McLaren Work Manager is a Microsoft .Net Smart Client utilising the Microsoft Fluent User interface as used in Microsoft Office 2007 .

Ribbon bars change according to options available to a user at any given step in a process.

The graphical look and feel accelerates user adoption and reduces the need for re-training.

Super-tooltips provide on-screen help describing the purpose of an individual button.

The quick-access bar allows users to configure their own shortcuts allowing a degree of personalisation.

Gray Knowlton, group product manager at Microsoft, said: 'McLaren Work Manager is an example of how to leverage Microsoft technology to simplify and ensure complex work processes are followed intuitively by end users.' Paul Muir, chief executive officer of McLaren Software, said: 'The ability to provide evidence that business processes have been followed by geographically dispersed engineering teams during the creation to publication of documentation is a regulatory and internal business issue.

'The challenge for organisations is how to ensure the integrity of documentation without requiring users to learn new applications or interfaces.'.
