Manila Folders

Monday, March 17th, 2008

The manila folder seems to always hold something timely and important. On one hand they are used by private investigators to reveal damaging information to clients. I bet Spitzer got one. On the other the folder is used by corporations to circulate important information. Stashed inside the manila folder the memo’s slow path is always the same.

Read memo. Spill coffee on it. Misplace for day. Sign. Pass. Repeat.

Effusia Business Messenger updates this slow distribution network with the memo message. Now users can send memos with Effusia to select individuals or complete groups of employees. Either select My Effusia>Contacts>Send Memo Message to choose individuals or right click on a group (or individual) in the console contact window and select Send Memo Message to send to the whole group (or individual). If the sender sends as Blind instead of Normal all recipients are BCC (blind carbon copy). Regardless of connection status users will receive the message immediately if logged in or as an offline message that appears upon logon to Effusia. And recipients can reply, reply all or forward the message too. Now everyone can be updated simultaneously without waiting for the dreaded manila envelope to make all the rounds through the office.

I hope the next manila folder that reaches my desk is not filled with phone bills or 8×10 glossies but instead has one of those new skinny Apple MacBook Air laptops. And yes Effusia is secure and runs on Mac OSX. But it can’t tell if you are being tailed.
