New Year’s Resolutions

Christopher Jagers | January 7th, 2010

In 2009, we were completely focused on making the user-interface for applicants as simple & beautiful as possible. So, for 2010 we are shifting our focus to enhance the administrative & reviewer side of the system. This includes adding new features and making everything easier to use. Here is a short list of our broad goals:

  • Make it easier to create/edit/manage large numbers of programs
  • Add a form builder for admins to create their own forms!
  • Provide more viewing options for reviewers
  • Make the system more applicant-centric (rather than portfolio-centric)
  • Enhance reporting capabilities
  • Provide more control over different user roles
  • Enhance tools for evaluation
  • Add ability to generate unique lists of applicants for emailing
  • Add ability to collect letters of reference
  • Greater ability to configure settings/features in general
  • and more ….

In short, SlideRoom is growing from a portfolio management system into a more complete applicant tracking system. This will be useful as a comprehensive system for admissions, hiring, contests or any situation with an application & review process. This is going to be an exciting year!
