Purpose: Insert a brief overview description of the Performance Centered Outcome and the business performance issue it is meant to address.

Solution: Insert a detailed description of the overall design and/or specific components. The text must explain how the system supports business and user performance. For example, does it reduce the amount of business knowledge the performer requires before they can perform the function and, if so, how does it do this? If you have supporting graphics, screen shots, animation, or the like include a URL in the supporting text so that we can see the supporting graphics, animation, simulation, or other supporting media. If online access is restricted, provide six (6) user IDs and passwords. You may assume that the judges will be using IE5.x or above to view your entry. Be sure to note any plug-ins required and the details for obtaining them if not automatically provided. Note that you will also be provide the opportunity to demonstrate your submission to the judges live, via a collaborative tool (Webex, Centra, or the like). Your Solution information - including the samples provided via the URL - should focus on PCD attributes, including:

Supports performers through best practice processes.
Establishes, or aids in establishing, goals.
Minimizes terminology translation or interpretation.
Provides access to supporting resources.
Focuses on task(s), processes, and the natural flow of work.
Reduces or eliminates the need for training/learning.
Supports performance FIRST and learning only as a secondary consequence of doing.
Stretches the PCD paradigm.

Prior State: Insert a description of the processes and/or system(s) that were previously used to perform the function that your software now supports. If a system was used to perform this function, please consider including a screen shot of it.

User Profile: Insert a profile of typical users; their skills, education level, job experience and business knowledge. Did this profile change as a result of implementing the Performance Centered System? If so, please explain how.

Results: Insert a summary of any performance improvement data you may have collected. For example, this might include information about reductions in errors, reducing or eliminating training time, reducing the time it takes to perform specific tasks, decrease in frequency of errors, increase in speed.

Other Evidence: Describe anything else that contributes to your submission being an exceptional and/or innovative PCD entry.
