AgilQuest Releases OnBoard Connect and Puts Desk and Meeting Room Reservations on the Outlook Toolbar

    RICHMOND, VA, November 20, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- AgilQuest Corporation has released Connect, a plugin that puts the functionality of their OnBoard workplace management system directly on the toolbar within Microsoft's Outlook email client. OnBoard Connect allows users to find and reserve office space resources while they are inside the Outlook program, the same application in which they spend much of every workday.

"End users want to make their reservations fast and easy... and they'd love to do that while they're in Outlook. Connect lets them do all their booking in the one place they're in all day," says Wister Jefferson, Government Sector Accounts.

Large organizations and government agencies use AgilQuest's OnBoard to optimize their use of conference rooms and schedule the use of hoteling desks for mobile workers. Customers choose OnBoard for its ability to apply business rules and adhere to proper processes when booking office space and now OnBoard's unique application logic is available during the creation of calendar events within Outlook. Requiring employees to use an external application in order to save real estate costs and eliminate meeting room conflicts works well for the organizations, but now users are happy to do their part since there is virtually no additional effort required.

Torrance Houlihan, AgilQuest's VP of Product Management, said "Organizations want the convenience of Outlook for users and they count on the strong business rules in OnBoard. For the first time, both user acceptance and company policies are possible from one plugin."

AgilQuest worked directly with Microsoft's Outlook development team to create a plugin native to the email client environment and that is still able to execute the complex and powerful code inside the OnBoard application.

"When they can easily reserve a great meeting room, pick out the equipment and catering to be delivered on time, and count on no one else trying to use that same resource, users remain happy and productive while seamlessly following all the proper rules and approvals," said John Vivadelli, the CEO of AgilQuest.

OnBoard Connect is available immediately for the latest version of OnBoard.
