Event notification tool is a wonderful instrument that supports office internal life in context of joint activities. Notification tool allows users to send and receive notifications about different events, important achievements and urgent news, group or personalized messages etc. The purpose of notification tool is permanent keeping of all team members in touch with evolution on current projects and business plans, so the objective of event notification tool is to notify users in clear and understandable terms. Usually notification tool is a type of client-server software, as this technology allows instant messaging through corporate LAN or Internet, but sometimes notification tools work via email communication. Both types (email notification tool and network notification tool) have their own advantages. Let's consider the essence of efficiency for project event notification tool:

  • User notification tool should describe project news and changes in sufficient terms, understandable for all project participants. This means that notification tool should support describing data in the terms used on stage of project planning.
  • User notification tool should provide the same information regarding the same facts to all team members. This means that project progress notification tool should generate and send multiple notifications from one source. As a source for notifications tool we mean one database.
  • User notification tool should provide alternatives for instant messaging, for example sending of e-mail notifications. This means that software should work as network and email notification toolat the same time.
  • User notification tool should work in such a way, so notifications can be collected and reviewed at any time. This means that network notification tool should have notifications archive that can be used for progress tracking.
  • Notification tool should have direct connection with project progress detection and identifying. This means that this network and email notification tool should use data received through the process of project tracking.

So what we have in summary regarding notification tool - this should be network notification tool with one database that contains project planning data and have direct connection with project tracking process. Also this network notification tool should be able to work as email notification tool with project tracking archive
