Hi all-
I'm about to start a project that goes a little something like this...
Right now, alerts get automatically emailed to a central address which due to the volume is largely ignored. You know the drill: "Ooo! It would be great if we got notified when resource X is running low! Then we could anticipate the need for it and get ahead of the game." Repeat for resources A-Z, AA-ZZ, etc, etc and you get a mailbox that quickly becomes filled with alerts that no one reads, largely due to the fact that the reading alone would be a full time job. We can receive anywhere from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand of these per day.
Uhmm, perhaps a better solution is an organizational one. Alerts lose there efficacy when there are an overload of them. Perhaps you should reconsider what constitutes an alert. However, if you're using the term alert as a synonym for a todo then it would make sense to develop a solution like you propose.
Just a thought,
Randy.
