Haskayne School of Business Optimizes Mentoring Program with Insala’s Mentoring Software

Haskayne School of Business Optimizes Mentoring Program with Insala’s Mentoring Software
(PRWEB) September 2, 2010
Insala, the global leader in career transition and talent management solutions, announces the successful deployment of Insala’s mentoring software solution at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business, resulting in ease and efficiency of program administration while facilitating program growth.
“With Insala’s mentoring solution, I can now track student communication and activities, and more efficiently administer the entire program,” says Melissa Lackey, Programs and Marketing Coordinator at the school. “We’ve been able to grow the mentoring program by 50% while cutting administration time by 50%. Some manual processes are now automated, saving time and effort and freeing up time for other tasks.”
The ten-year-old mentoring program capped out at 120 pairs, was tracked on an Excel spreadsheet and had a manual matching and pairing process. Lackey knew an online solution of some form was in order. After a series of investigatory meetings and consultations, Insala was chosen as the online mentoring solution provider, leading to a successful implementation.
A burgeoning list of benefits emerged. Since bringing the mentoring program online, Lackey has been able to process applications, review applications, and register participants much more quickly. This increased efficiency has enabled her to exceed program roll-out deadlines by two months.
“What’s more, Insala was responsive to the usability issues and provided upgrades. They customize to suit the needs of academia with mentors dispersed among many organizations, rather than the usual internal corporate model,” says Lackey.
Lackey found that Insala’s online mentoring solution pairs more people quickly, speeds up the matching process, allows students and mentors to connect through media other than phone and personal interviews, and allows mentors to view resumes. Lackey is looking to increase participation of the program by another 25% by 2012.

xml:lang=”en” lang=”en” xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
9 of 10 Top Ranked âBest Collegesâ Use Smartsheet to Manage Projects in the Cloud
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011
Smartsheet, a leading online project management tool, today announced 9 of the Top 10 ranked âBest Collegesâ in US News and Reportsâ 2011 National University Rankings use its intuitive spreadsheet-like cloud app, including departments at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Dartmouth, Duke, and University of Chicago. The flexible SaaS tool helps teams increase productivity and collaborate more effectively and efficiently on projects, tasks and processes.
Smartsheet is used at universities and colleges around the world, including Syracuse University, UCLA, University of Calgary, Penn State, George Washington University, USC, George Mason, Cornell, Purdue, University of Wisconsin, Boise State University, Australian National University, UC Berkeley, The University of Sheffield, and The Julliard School.
âThe education sector, particularly higher education, is one of our fastest growing customer segments,â said Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet. âThe flexibility and familiarity of the spreadsheet-like interface makes it easy for a wide variety of teams to adopt and apply to their specific situation. The cloud-app enables them to track projects and collaborate in real time — regardless if itâs a course syllabus, a campus construction project, or a capital campaign. At a time when budgets and resources are tighter than ever for schools, getting more done for less is a big deal.â
Smartsheetâs online project management tool makes it easy to manage tasks and projects as well as collaborate with stakeholders.

âSmartsheet provides a unique combination of ease of use and utility,â said Brian Bolt, Office of Information Technology, Boise State University. âMany online spreadsheet tools are too lightweight while purpose-built apps like Project require a significant investment in training. Smartsheet is the happy medium, helping us track projects, issues, and scheduling across several other departments. Additionally, the fact that I can share sheets with others–for free–makes it an even more valuable choice.â
