Free in pro software for windows

WHOS-IN Pro is an easy to use Windows in-out board application for businesses that need to keep track of whos in and whos out of the office.
WHOS-IN Pro 2007 is THE multi-award winning, easy-to-use, in-out board for businesses and organizations that would like to know whos in and whos out of the office. (or as at least one forward thinking family is doing, use it at HOME!)
WHOS-IN Pro is ideal for receptionists (and anyone else on your LAN for that matter) because there is no more time wasted checking a wall-mounted Office Board to see if someone is In, Out, or at Lunch... all the information you need is presented on screen in an easy to read format.
Since 1995, WHOS-IN has achieved over 1,000,000 downloads, and with over 500,000 registered users, this makes WHOS-IN Pro the worlds most popular in out board (taking over from the Novell product which is no longer available). Yes, there are many imitators out there, but if you want the original & the best, youve come to the right place.
Having a snapshot or status view of your co-workers whereabouts makes it possible to give better information to callers, and to avoid putting telephone calls through to employees who arent at their desks. WHOS-IN Pro also reduces wasted time when an employee needs to find a co-worker to talk to him or her.
Setting your (or someone elses) status is VERY simple, fast & intuitive, ensuring that the program will be used consistently. A simple Out to Lunch notification requires as little as one mouse-click, and you are on your way. WHOS-IN Pro can also set your Status to IN when the program starts, and OUT when it shuts down, which further enhances its ease-of-use, and gives the added benefit that people dont need to remember to update their own status at these times.
New in the Pro version is a Status Alert system which can inform you when a co-worker returns to the office - an invaluable aid if you urgently need to see or speak to someone.
WHOS-IN Pro can also access remote copies in branch offices across your high-speed (T-1 preferred) Wide Area Network, allowing you to examine the status of people at an interstate or inter-city location. Imagine the time & money saved in long distance phone calls if you already know someone is On Vacation for example. Equally, theres no need to restrict the use of WHOS-IN Pro to just people either... You can just as easily keep tabs on Vehicles, Laptops, Cell Phones, Meeting Rooms, or just about any other item you care to think of - the potential uses are almost limitless.
WHOS-IN Pro is designed to be easy to use, however it is also highly configurable, with user defined colored Status buttons on the ToolBar, Groups / Departments, custom company logo for the background, system & user access levels, and much much more. We also encourage user feedback, and incorporate new features ASAP. Most of what you see in WHOS-IN Pro today is the direct result of user suggestions made over the last 10+ years.
