Agilix Labs, Inc., a Microsoft® Empower ISV Partner, announces the delivery of FranklinCovey TabletPlanner™ 3.0 to strategic partner FranklinCovey®. TabletPlanner is a custom- developed software solution that combines Agilix note-taking, storage, and search technology with FranklinCovey’s productivity and planning methodology. The second upgrade in 12 months, FranklinCovey TabletPlanner 3.0 provides mobile information workers with a productivity and planning tool that integrates with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
TabletPlanner runs on any Windows XP-based computer (including the Tablet PC); adds PowerNotes™, an updated and comprehensive note-taking application supporting digital ink or text via keyboard entry, and proprietary FranklinCovey productivity and planning solutions, including support for Mission/Values, Goals, and Weekly Compass.
“Agilix continues to innovate quickly and has worked closely with FranklinCovey to provide a solution that includes the core productivity and planning methodology taught in our training workshops, including FOCUS: Achieving Your Highest Priorities,” says Jeff Anderson, Vice President of Technology Products at FranklinCovey.
“TabletPlanner is one of the few applications that everyone understands and can use immediately,” says Curt Allen, President and CEO of Agilix. “Mobile executives, sales professionals, small business owners, students and educators, IT professionals, researchers, and government employees save time and find increased productivity as TabletPlanner provides a single, integrated application. Unlike other niche or vertical applications on the Tablet PC, TabletPlanner has wide appeal and continues to be recognized as a ‘killer application’ regardless of industry.”
“Pen-Perfect” Application
Agilix builds on Microsoft’s vision for Windows XP® Tablet PC Edition by providing applications that provide ubiquitous digital ink support. “Microsoft is delighted that Agilix is continuing to develop innovative Tablet PC applications,” says Andrew Dixon, director of marketing in the Tablet PC Business Unit at Microsoft. “With the release of TabletPlanner 3.0, Agilix has once again demonstrated their ability to fully leverage the Tablet PC platform and deeply integrate pen, ink, and handwriting recognition. This is an excellent example of a ‘pen-perfect’ application which helps customers realize the potential of the Tablet PC.”
Tablet PC hardware manufacturers also find that Agilix-developed applications like TabletPlanner demonstrate the full functionality and power of Tablet PCs. “Agilix provides an application that shows how Tablet PCs can keep information workers productive while mobile,” says Naila Seif, Director of Mobile Solutions, Personal Systems Group, HP. “TabletPlanner is a powerful solution that mobile professionals can use at their desk, in the conference room, or in the field in front of customers.”
