TSIA to Release TSIA Outcome Chains Software to Entire Membership Base

/EINPresswire.com/ -- Consumption of TSIA Resources Has Increased by 450% Through New SaaS Solution Designed to Help Members Improve Their Service Business Outcomes

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - October 19, 2016) - The Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), the leading association for today's technology and services organizations, announced that beginning October 25, 2016, all TSIA members will have access to TSIA outcome chains, an innovative SaaS solution that will enable them to leverage TSIA research, data, and business frameworks to achieve specific business outcomes. The announcement was made today at the Technology Services World (TSW) Las Vegas 2016 conference taking place this week at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

This spring, TSIA announced its partnership with Outcome Chains, Inc., the developer of this new solution, and has since collaborated to provide members with an intuitive step-by-step approach to achieving their service business outcomes leveraging TSIA research, frameworks, benchmark data, and other member resources.

Outcome Chains, Inc. recently released version 2.2 of their software, which offers a brand new redesign that includes features intended to improve the overall user experience. TSIA members will directly benefit from these new features, which include:

  • Updated Outcome Chain and Link Space User Interface: Provides users with an enhanced Outcome Chains viewing experience. The content inside a link space is rendered in a modern webpage view.
  • OC Summary Tab: Provides easy access to the Outcome Chain description and Outcome Chain video for the viewer.
  • Share Link Space: Provides users with the ability to quickly share and forward link spaces via a URL. Recipients will not be required to register with Outcome Chains to view the Link Space.
  • Tags: Tags and tag descriptions have replaced the former connection sets and link color/legend features. Builder and Player license types have the option to create tags, assign tags to links, and draw connections between the tags. Viewers can explore and view multiple tags at once.
  • Data Migration: Existing connections and link color legends from v2.1 are converted to v2.2 as tags inside the outcome chains.

This update also includes additional features including collapsed link rows, Link Space setting, data migration, as well as new features for Team Admins, such as team group URLs and domain-based registration.

TSIA outcome chains, which will be included as a part of all current TSIA memberships at no additional cost, will allow members to clearly identify their desired objectives, the challenges preventing them from reaching their goals, and view a clear plan of action for achieving them as quickly and easily as possible. The application provides members with access to key TSIA resources, such as research, benchmark data, dashboard tools, and more, that have been carefully matched to each step along the journey to achieving a specific outcome. This powerful new resource has the potential to improve the decision making of every manager in TSIA member organizations by putting best practices at their fingerprints.
