  Assess, Compare, and Improve

  What if you could really keep your eye on all of the projects you are currently trying to manage with ad hoc Word, PowerPoint, and Excel scorecards and status reports? It's hard, we've all been doing it that way for years. There is finally a better way.
  

  With Web-scorecard, you can convert those scattered, inconsistent, tracking tools into a comprehensive, web-based performance management system that can deliver the answers you need to stay on track and improve results.
  

  Putting Consultant Expertise to Work

  Organizations constantly ask consultants for assessments and recommendations on how to improve performance. In the past, all that resulted was recommendations. With Web-Scorecard, you can convert those recommendations into a complete, web-based performance management application and get real value over the long term.
  

  If you are a consultant, delivering a Web-Scorecard application as part of your services is a great way to help your clients bootstrap and manage their performance, and give you a better way to work together long term.
  

  Database Power Without Programming

  Web-Scorecard takes the hard work out of developing robust performance management applications. You probably already know what you need to measure, but haven't found a good method for capturing and comparing data.
  

• Memory - need we say more ;^)
  
• Paper is fast and easy, but hard to keep track of or use for comparison, especially a few months down the road
  
• Excel spreadsheets are great for developing numerical relationships, but they keep getting out of date, and are hard to compare side by side.
  
• Word tables are easy to create, but hard to manage. Not to mention multiple versions of those huge files clunking around your email server or file share.
  
• Powerpoint is great to look at, but hard to manage.
  
• Access is a great database, but you need some very smart people to design the database itself, create the forms, and customize your reports.
  

  Web-Scorecard changes all of that.
  You create a simple "measure table". Just use our simple template to define what your categories are, the measures in each, and how you rate performance. In most cases, you already know what you need to measure. Import the table into your account, and you can have a custom application up and running in just a few minutes.
  

  Web-scorecard creates a custom database based on your measure table, and gives you a data entry screens, graphical and tabular reporting. The built-in scoring model makes reporting easy. And you can export reports or data back to Word, Excel or PowerPont whenever you need it.
