Software tool developer mrc has announced its, "Bring Your Ideas to Life" promotion to help provide employees with the help they need to advance their ideas for Web applications.
"We've all wished for functionality that our company didn't have, or Web tools that could help the company," says Sal Stangarone, mrc's senior product consultant. "We also know that for one reason or another, most of these ideas and wishes won't go anywhere. We started the "Bring Your Ideas to Life" offer to help employees get their ideas recognized."
mrc says it is well aware that everyone is under increasing pressure to prove their value to corporations in light of the difficult and competitive job market. mrc believes that companies are more willing to adopt a technology idea if it is accompanied by a working prototype. With the "Bring Your Ideas to Life" offer, mrc will work with an employee to build a Web application--free of charge.
Possible examples could include the following:
- A salesperson may want customer order history available on her smartphone.
- An insurance underwriter might wish that customers could fill out applications online
- An accountant may want to run automatic Web reports instead of using spreadsheets.
- A CIO or board member may want to prove the value of an idea to the CEO.
"This offer is unique in the fact that it is free and open to anyone, regardless of position," says Stangarone. "We know that great ideas can come from anyone, and we want to see those ideas succeed."
mrc has created a simple process to help employees submit their ideas, which can be found here: http://mrc-productivity.com/ideas.html. Questions? Contact mrc via phone at 630.916.0662; via fax at 630.916.0663; via e-mail at
