FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August, 2004 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND SCHEDULING FOCUS OF NEWEST RELEASE OF QATRAX TEST LABORATORY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION WALNUT CREEK, California – TraxStar announced QATrax 3.3, its newest release, will be demonstrated at IEEE's EMC 2004 Symposium. Resource management and scheduling is the focus of this newest release. QATrax 3.3 offers increased productivity with enhanced visibility over resource schedules. Additional resource views now display scheduled activities for people and equipment side-by-side, mimicking the intuitive display of the traditional whiteboard. Gaps in the schedules are highly visible cues of resource availability. Each user can configure what they see, resource by resource! Come see this exciting development in scheduling productivity at Booth 719 at IEEE's EMC 2004. QATrax is specifically designed for the test lab environment of discrete manufacturers, tracking projects and their test plans through the product life cycle. QATrax handles work requests, equipment or devices under test, test methods and test sequences and is designed to support quality standards including ISO 17025. Integrating Scheduling and Re-Scheduling functionality into the test request and testing process, QATrax rewards management, engineers and technicians with increased efficiency. Providing real-time visibility across engineering groups and into test labs dispersed around the world has a significant impact on the time it takes to get new products to market. Decisions made from the vantage of real-time visibility reduce the uncertainty in the product testing cycle which, in turn, results in fewer delays in getting product to market. This International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility is being held at the Santa Clara California Convention Center August 9-13, 2004. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn how TraxStar's test lab management solution is helping discrete manufacturers reap the powerful advantages of real-time information. QATrax is helping customers increase equipment and worker productivity, regulatory compliance, lab efficiency, customer service and profitability. Additional information regarding the symposium can be found at: http://www.e-grid.net/conf/emc.html. The exhibition hall is open August 10th - 12th and QATrax experts will be available during and after each day's events to address your specific situation.
