NovusAGENDA key advantages

NovusAGENDA is a web based solution designed specifically for Government and Educational organizations. NovusAGENDA will save time and money by streamlining the process of Agenda item creation.

1. NovusAGENDA is the only product that tackles the process from the beginning. Users log into NovusAGENDA to create an Agenda item from the very beginning. This means paperwork is eliminated at the very source.

• Reduced paperwork
• Consistent formats are used by everyone
• Consistent naming conventions are used by everyone

2. NovusAGENDA offers the flexibility to customize the look and layout of your final Item creation page, Public Agenda and Minutes. Your constituency is accustomed to seeing familiar layouts. By customizing the layouts to match your existing ones, we are able to reduce internal resistance to the process change. Our experience has shown that many users are resistant to change. When moving from a paper based system to an electronic one, many users will naturally push back. The secret to success in a rollout is to minimize change for users. This is accomplished through customized layouts for key user interfaces. Users will see the same layouts they have seen for years.

3. NovusAGENDA is designed to reside on your servers. This means your data is your data. You are not dependant upon other providers to protect your sensitive data.

4. NovusAGENDA integrates with your Active Directory of users. This makes user management much easier for senior administrators.

5. NovusAGENDA is designed to allow you to customize the Agenda Item Details page. The details page captures key attributes of each item. Names, Description, Type, Category and more are all captured on the details page. By customizing this page we allow you to capture data like you do today in your paper based system. The same benefit is seen here regarding minimizing user push back and maintaining consistency throughout your organization. Customization of this screen reduces deployment risks and potential user pushback.

6. NovusAGENDA allows you to have Custom Workflows for your items. Workflow can vary by item type. A resolution may have one workflow while an ordinance has another. Custom workflows combined with the option to allow user defined workflows helps insure your complex process needs will be met.
