ericsson's pie which never goes out-of-date

16th Dec 2008 (12:45:48) by James

Ericsson have recently commissioned Beaver Design to create a user-friendly calendar for their intranet. The calendar displays upcoming corporate events with the year broken down into sections, in the form of a pie graph.

A staff member using the calendar can highlight a month for a short bullet point breakdown, or select the month to see each day seperately. When a member of staff finds an event they are interested in, all they need to do is click a link which puts the event in their Outlook diary.

Events can be added direct from event management's Outlook system and managed on the calendar through a CMS system.

This friendly, simple and unique calendar gives Ericsson another effective way to communicate with their staff.

Beaver Solutions has recently installed two new screens at the Royal Institute of British Architects. The purpose is to provide up-to-date information on the available rooms within the RIBA building.

The RIBA provides an excellent central London venue for conferences, meeetings, weddings, dinners and receptions. The screens are kept up-to-date by linking with an existing CSV file from the RIBA, so that visitors and staff have an easy way to see the status of all the rooms.
