EZTracker Product Overview

EZTracker 4.5 is MaxIT's original popular and widely used software that tracks training activities. Version 4.5 features enhancements based entirely on feedback from the EZTracker user community. EZTracker has become even easier to use and more adaptable to different needs and different industries.

Important: EZTracker is a PC based application for training tracking administration. Please visit www.MaxIT.com and get a demo of Training Tracking Enterprise (TTE) if you need a browser-based training tracking product with optional user self-registration.

Here are some common areas where EZTracker is used today:

• Traditional training tracking
• Regulatory Compliance (OSHA, MOSHA, FDA....)
• Track training for ISO9000, QS9000 tied to Job Requirements
• Track training tied to operating procedures and training on the most current revision. (for health care this could be an in-service)
• Notification of retraining or re-certification
• License management
• Training tracking of external customers / seminar planning.

What EZTracker is NOT

EZTracker is not a software tool for resource management or to launch or track computer based training. Resource management involves managing the resources involved in delivering training such as scheduling multiple class rooms, reserving serialized inventory and detailed cost analysis.

What EZTracker is

For many organizations, resource management is over kill to the business need. A good analogy is killing an ant with a sledge hammer. For these organizations, EZTracker offers tremendous capabilities and value that will not break the budget.

EZTracker began as a project for a client in 1995. This client was frustrated with the costs and delays with developing a home grown system with their internal staff. Another client working toward the 6-sigma quality standard helped define extended functionality including curriculum management. Since then EZTracker has been constantly enhanced and has achieved a large customer base from a broad range of industries including manufacturing, financial, healthcare, distribution, education, government, military, law enforcement, software, and most other industry segments.

The features of EZTracker Version 4.5 were based entirely on user suggestions. Following are the capabilities of Version 4.5

• EZTracker will automatically scroll down the listing of records (names, courses...). Ideal for larger populations.
• A data dictionary allows for every field in EZTracker to be relabeled to whatever term you want and be made required for entry. (Change LearnerID to SSN, Clock#, UserID...)
• Several additional user definable fields have been added including additional date and numeric fields.
• Learners and courses can be made active or inactive. Inactive records still display on reports, but are not available when enrolling or posting training tracking.
• The key down feature has been applied to enrollment allowing you to enroll by LearnerID, Last Name, Title ... or Course ID, Course Desc ....
• A calendar/planning tool has been added to Class Register. This will drill into your class listings for those classes that are up-coming today, tomorrow, next week, last week, next month ….
• A report manager allows you to link external reports and mail merge documents to be launch directly within EZTracker.
• Several user interface enhancements allowing for faster entry of data and color coding for easier navigation and a short learning curve.
• Other systems have preset window sizes (including older versions of EZTracker). EZTracker 4.5 will automatically resize data listings to your display monitor presenting as much information as possible.

Following are the core functions of EZTracker:

• Display and track training histories by person, group, or course
• Track any kind of training across any type of delivery
• Easily enter and post training by group or individually
• Comprehensive reports allowing you to look at training in terms of number of people trained, total hours or costs by department, person, or course.
• State of the art curriculum management that allows people and courses to be assigned to curriculum (groups) with integration to training history to show what training has occurred and what training stills needs to take place. Ties back to complete curriculum management reports which can provide on-demand data for quality and regulatory audits.
