New features in the FMYI collaboration platform
Stoplight Email is a three-pronged approach to reduce the email madness from internal team communication built into the FMYI collaboration platform. Individuals with a project or contact management system can choose the perfect amount of email. (1) Individuals who prefer no email can search what they need or see whats new in an activity stream. (2) Individuals who prefer one digest email a day (or one a week) enjoy a single summary of all relevant activity, plus they can be alerted to urgent information if needed. (3) Those on the go, with no time to sign into a system, want to simply reply to emails from the team and have the information automatically organized.
FMYI has incorporated the Stoplight Email system within FMYI with as a collection of features. The Activity manager has been a staple within FMYI for years to manage the flow of updates, but now users can also enjoy a selection of timing for a Digest summary, and the ability to simply reply to an email, and have information automatically filed for them. This unique combination of features enables people to work smarter.
Emails fill a critical role as an easy-to-use notification process that brings timely information to your attention, said Justin Yuen, President, FMYI, Inc. Using email to try and manage workflow, such as project management, contact tracking, discussing ideas, the volume of emails can really get out of hand. FMYI reduces the volume of emails by enabling people to filter out less critical items, consolidating important information, and keep everyone focused on critical high priority items.
