ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

AchieveIt today announced the release of its latest cloud-based application, ImproveIt, to enable organizations to enhance their performance and quality improvement initiatives by getting better results in less time.

“The cost of poor quality has been proven to range from 5% to 30% of gross revenues for most companies,” said Scott Regan, founder and chief execution officer of AchieveIt. “It is for this reason that we felt compelled to develop an application that help organizations turn organizational goals into real, meaningful, and tangible results.”

Todays market requires all organizations to develop a culture of continuous quality and performance improvement. Now, with cloud technology, organizations no longer have to worry about whether PI projects are on time or on target. From project submission to project tracking to project execution, ImproveIt puts everything is online, making projects transparent and accessible by everyone in your organization. With a Baldrige-compliant application, projects will be completed faster with better results that are sustainable over time.

Key capabilities of ImproveIt include:


Electronically submit projects using your submission criteria, including approval routing, as well as required and optional information.
Select from customizable improvement methodologies (Focus PDSA, Six Sigma DMAIC, Six Sigma DMADV, Lean Rapid Improvement Event, and Lean 6S Event) and automatically load the project deliverables and dates into the work plan.
Create custom methodologies for your department, division, or organization.
Determine project requirements and track whether and when they have been met, while tying mandatory deliverables to the scheduling of project reviews.
Follow each project through its various phases to chart progress, and easily view the status of every open project, along with current results.
Track key performance indicators, as well as project metrics currently being pursued by active project teams.
Never lose a project file again by automatically archiving closed projects in a searchable knowledgebase that provides a growing and ready resource library for future use.
Reopen projects at any time with a click of a mouse.
Create resource rules, such as how many open projects a person may serve on at one time, or the qualifications for facilitating or leading a team.
Create rules for project charters that must be adhered to by everyone in the organization.
Coordinate activities with organization-wide calendaring and communication tools.
Seamlessly integrate with ExecuteIt, which allows you to launch projects directly from our strategy development and execution application while also cross referencing KPI tracking in both modules.
