Make Complex Organization Chart Management Clear and Efficient
HOUSTON -- November 15, 2001 -- Bridgeway Software, Inc., the leading provider of corporate legal solutions, announces the release of CorpChartsTM version 5.2, a companion software to SecretariatTM 5, the elite management tool for the office of the Corporate Secretary. Secretariat tracks all the information about a company from inception through its entire life cycle including ownership history. Using CorpCharts, every parent/subsidiary relationship from Secretariat can be presented in a graphical hierarchy. By increasing efficiency and clarity, CorpCharts helps streamline central control, saving the company money and time.
CorpCharts provides a quick and easy way to create complex hierarchical charts, tracking all divisions, subsidiaries and related business entities. CorpCharts automatically extracts hierarchy information from Secretariat and lets the user view it. From there, the company can tailor the chart's final appearance. If the corporate structure changes, the company can easily perform updates, which are highlighted in color for easy identification.
CorpCharts uses the information in Secretariat to fill in the blanks and allows customization with a simple click of the mouse. CorpCharts lets companies:
* Create and save charts either by the effective date or date ranges
* Show entities from the perspective of whom they own or who owns them
* Configure entity order and arrangement (business type, geography, etc.)
* Include text such as ownership percentage and jurisdiction of formation
* Hide subsidiaries
* Compare current and historical information
* Modify or add text and graphics to the finished chart on-screen
CorpCharts prints out on any MS Windows compatible printer or plotter.
Pat O'Donnell, president of Bridgeway, says, "We are very pleased to bring this important tool for central corporate management to our clients. It provides critical support to the governance duties of the Corporate Secretary. In this period when cost savings are paramount to all corporate operations, CorpCharts 5 contributes to savings in management by increasing control and efficiency."
