Baldrige Software

Baldrige EasyApp for Business and Nonprofit Application Development Software

Introducing EasyApp 2008 Basic ($195 USD) - Now you can capture much of the information needed to answer the Baldrige Criteria questions using integrated response templates. The templates include examples on how to fill them out and they are hyperlinked so that information you enter in one template is automatically accessible by other related templates. The templates extract the right information from your subject matter experts people and help ensure that it is appropriate so they do not waste their time on what they think should go in the application but which may often not be adding value. The penalty is severe for not getting the right information in the application - you won't get a valid assessment and you will have to rewrite the application. EasyApp 2008 Basic is available now in Business, Health Care, Public Sector and other Nonprofit, and Education versions.
