Employees get more monitors

Bill and Jamie both got new monitors over the last couple of weeks. If you ever visit our corporate office, it feels a little like star trek or information overload to some people. Those of you that still use one monitor for everyday work, put in for a purchase request to get another monitor or two, and then make this email self destruct :). Some people just think I am nuts on why I push monitors on my staff to use. There is one simple reason, its productivity. If you use only one monitor, how many times a day do you minimize/maximize? If you really calculated how much time is spent minimizing and maximizing everyday I think you wouldn't believe it.

Information is only as good as it is stored, used, and presented. Within U4 especially, we always have more then one application running at a time, having both applications displayed at the same time is priceless. Recently I sent out a email (that I request yearly) for all staff to submit to me what would help them perform their job more effectively. Almost on everyone's list included in the top place another monitor. I was shocked to say the least, but I aim to please. Going forward on every new workstation we will be converting them into tri monitor stations.

Scott has had a tri monitor station since 2004. I have attached a humorous picture of when you can have to many monitors. Obviously this is a joke, but funny.
