1.3. About OfficeClip

OfficeClip is a web-based application that provides an integrated solution for better management of your office setup and operations. OfficeClip facilitates information tracking and sharing in a manner that is relevant to an organization. One of the striking features of OfficeClip is that it provides you an interface for interacting with all the different types of people that are related to your business, both internal and external.

First, OfficeClip has a strong suite of intranet-based components that make the management of information within the organization simple and straightforward. It also includes tools to plan projects and monitor their implementation. Second, it has a customer relationship management component, called Contacts, that can be used to maintain records of all the organizations and individuals with whom you do business. The Extranet component also allows you to reach out to people outside your organization.

1.3.1. The OfficeClip Components

The OfficeClip application is made up of the following components, which centralize and organize the office operations:

  • Office Portal

  • Desktop

  • Contacts

  • Issue Tracker

  • Time and Expenses

  • Projects

  • Setup

  • Extranet

Each OfficeClip component works as a self-contained independent unit, offering unique features for the administrator and the user. These components can be created and managed by the administrator/creator, who can also set permissions for other users.

1.3.1.1. Office Portal

The Portal component is used to manage your information resources. It allows you to retrieve content updates from Internet locations directly into OfficeClip. You can also use it to interact, communicate, and collaborate with users of your OfficeClip organization by setting up forums, polls, and announcements.

1.3.1.2. Desktop

The Desktop component is used for managing your schedule, e-mail, and documents.

1.3.1.3. Contacts

Contacts is an important component, used for managing all your business contacts, for tracking business opportunities, and for running e-mail campaigns targeting your contacts.

1.3.1.4. Issue Tracker

The Issue Tracker helps you increase your efficiency by allowing you to track unresolved problems with your projects. Dynamic functionality makes the issue tracker both flexible and detailed.

1.3.1.5. Time and Expenses

The Time and Expenses component is used for tracking the attendance of the users of an organization. The Timesheet feature is integrated with the Projects component so that users can track the time they spend on projects. An offline component allows users who are off-site to track time and upload it to OfficeClip.

1.3.1.6. Projects

You can use the Projects component to manage all your organization's projects, including assigning users to projects, and track their progress.

1.3.1.7. Extranet

The Extranet component is used to make information from your OfficeClip database available to an audience that is not a part of OfficeClip. Just as in the other components, OfficeClip allows you to control who accesses the information.
