Optimize work loads
Improve communication between organizations
Promote organizational efficiency
Every manager wishes to track trends, reduce risk, and resolve issues before they become problems. Unfortunately, in diverse organizations clear staff roles and assignments lose clarity as suspenses are processed through letters, emails, and phone calls. Many times the simplest question such as "who is working on a particular task?" is hard to answer. Multiplied across an organization, it becomes difficult to meet deadlines and formulate group decisions in an efficient manner. Without effective information management, office-to-office interdependency breeds poor business practices. In a net-centric environment where response time becomes a critical measurement of performance, effective suspense management is an imperative requirement.
