JACKSONVILLE, FL (January 19, 2006) - Idea Integration(R), the
technology solutions and systems integration unit of MPS Group, Inc.
(NYSE:MPS), announced today that its E-Agenda solution will be
featured in the Microsoft E-Government Road Show, which will kick off
today at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Microsoft's E-Government Road Show is targeted to state and local
government executives. E-Agenda is a productivity tool that was
specifically developed for state and local governments as well as
school boards to create and manage agendas online while increasing
productivity and virtually eliminating paper and printing costs. At
each show location, a select group of actual board members from
various government agencies will have the opportunity to participate
in a live, mock board meeting utilizing the E-Agenda solution.
Participants will have the opportunity to use E-Agenda in a hands-on
environment. Simultaneously, participants will also gain experience
with Microsoft SharePoint, the business intelligence application on
which E-Agenda resides. In addition to being featured in the Road
Show, E-Agenda will also be included in Microsoft's State and Local
Government and Education CD productivity kit, which is used nationwide
by Microsoft sales teams to educate business clients.
"Idea Integration's E-Agenda tool, with linkage to SharePoint,
makes great sense for government executives who must create, manage
and organize meeting agendas and is the type of solution that
simplifies processes so citizens may be better served," said Gail
Thomas Flynn, general manager of Microsoft's State and Local
Government business.
"The E-Government Road Show provides a terrific opportunity for
us to reach out to state and local governments and school boards,
which could really benefit from this solution," said Jim Albert,
president of Idea Integration. "E-Agenda gives this audience the power
to revolutionize their meeting management process through increased
efficiency, increased staff productivity, and dramatically reduced
costs."
