Set Forward LLC Announces Release 2.5 of Matrix Manager™ Manager® featuring knowledge management, workload balancing, and robust security.

CALIFON, NEW JERSEY, September 15th, 2006 - Set Forward LLC announces the release of Matrix Manager 2.5 featuring knowledge management, workload balancing, and robust security. Still centered on the principles of Commitment Based Management, task communications are negotiated between employees through a state machine, stored in central database server, and made visible on demand to all upward inline managers. Matrix Manager 2.5 is the premiere enterprise solution to review, reward and align work so that goals may be achieved on schedule
.

Matrix Manager 2.5 empowers an organization to consciously make intelligent decisions based on its self-understanding. Managers can locate the best employee to perform a task or lead a project based on a corporate wide skill search. Once the person is found, the manager can assess their current workload to determine available bandwidth. Executives can use Matrix Manager 2.5 to optimize organizational structure based on current inter-department task interactions.

Maximization of the workforce requires the identification of imbalanced workloads so that resources can be shifted to meet work demands. Matrix Managers 2.5 enables managers to rebalance work between subordinates with a few mouse clicks.

In addition to extending the functionality of Matrix Manager, release 2.5 also enhances the security of the information. Corporate intellectual property, especially strategic plans and implementation, must be protected by robust security schemes. Matrix Manager 2.5 uses Microsoft's .NET user and application based security provisions in addition to Windows Authentication to prevent unauthorized access to data. This mechanism is highly secure and 100% Windows compliant.

Set Forward LLC announces the release of Matrix Manager® 1.0, the world's first Commitment Based Management? application.

CALIFON, NEW JERSEY, February 1st, 2004 - Set Forward LLC announces the release of Matrix Manager 1.0, the world's first Commitment Based Management TM application. Commitment Based Management is an innovative corporate management theory in which all task based communications are negotiated between employees through a state machine, saved to a central database server, and made visible on demand to all upward inline managers. In three mouse clicks or less, executives can tap into task and project status at any level in their reporting hierarchy. With real-time status at their fingertips, executives can now review, reward, and align work so that goals can be achieved on schedule


Vision Translation™
Executive management drives success through strategy and goals. Difficulty arises as corporate vision breaks into tasks that propagate and cascade down and across the reporting hierarchy. Today's executives must suffice with periodic updates that are filtered and distorted as information is slowly communicated up and across the hierarchy.

Matrix Manager™ introduces an revolutionary means of managing objectives called Vision Translation™. As employees transact tasks between each other, they can link the task to an ongoing strategic objective. As a result, management can see the collated set of tasks that propagate and cascade down the reporting hierarchy as strategic vision is issued by senior management and is fulfilled by the ranks. This all-encompassing view is called Vision TranslationÔ. Executives can watch their vision unfold before their eyes, enabling them to recognize everyone's contribution, identify and clear road blocks as they occur, and align work to stay coordinated with dynamic market trends

Enabling Matrix Organizations

For over a decade companies have shrunk and flattened their organization in order to increase efficiency. These new organizations require employees to perform work for teams inside and outside of their reporting chain. Unfortunately, employees are motivated by recognition, promotion and compensation which come almost exclusively from direct management. Performing work for coworkers outside of their reporting hierarchy is often seen as a favor because the work may not be visible or considered important by their manager. At times, work that is critical to organizational success is hindered by this dynamic. Matrix Manager™ solves this problem because the managers of the originator and recipient of a task have visibility of the work transaction. In fact, all upward, inline managers of the task originator and recipient can view the task on demand. Therefore the recipient of a task request knows that he/she will receive credit for the work regardless of the department that requested it. Employee performance appraisals can reflect both matrix and intra department work. Matrix Manager™ closes the motivational disconnect and enables cross department work that is critical to reach corporate objectives

Benefits Drive Dual Motivation

Executives are drawn to Matrix Manager because of the all-inclusive view of the corporate enterprise in action; employees are drawn to Matrix Manager to receive recognition and visibility of their ideas and hard work. By offering benefits to employees at all levels of the organization, Matrix Manager wins the acceptance of users, which is critical for enterprise wide adoption.
