Hello, I have a bit of interesting feedback that you guys may be
interested in.
My girlfriend works over at an event planning company in the North
Bay working under one of their many managers keeping track of the
events the company plans and manages etc. They have a lot of needs
because they do events all over the world and need the timezone
works, various events that happen regularly and yearly etc. and have
a lot of use cases that we try to provide for with the OSAF products.
Currently they once a week prepare excel spread sheets and print them
out so the manager can tape them to the wall to keep track of who is
doing what and when. I thought this was ridiculous especially for a
business of it's size etc. so I had her plug the OSAF products for
people to take a look at.
They would gladly start using our stuff on a company wide scale if
there were two more features, one per product.
Cosmo: They really can't use it until there are calendar overlays,
because it doesn't do the managers any good to have to see what a
single employee is managing at a time, they need a calendar for each
employee and then need to be able to overlay to see what everyone is
doing that week.
Chandler: They feel that this would be a great asset to them, however
it is really unusable without a month view as scrolling through a
year of events one week at a time looking for an occurrence of an
event is a bit tedious.
I know that these are two features that have been talked a lot about,
and are sorely needed out there for real world use. I thought we
might be able to bump both these up in priority, because having some
companies start using the OSAF stuff would be really great.
Thanks!
Adam
