Shiftboard WINNER Nominated As Finalist In Blackberry® And AT&T Nationwide Contest 
Seattle, Wash – February 11, 2009 – Online Scheduling System by Shiftboard was chosen as one of 10 Finalists for the top small business contest sponsored by Blackberry and AT&T. The company, a provider of online scheduling software, was selected in a national competition of small businesses.
Contest organizers interviewed each contestant and added a profile on the official website (www.blackberryforsmallbusiness.com) to allow voting for the top small business. 

“As companies increasingly look for new ways to stay ahead of challenging market trends, staffing scheduling systems will play a vital role in helping businesses save money and time in scheduling their contract and staff employees,” said Rob Eleveld, CEO at Shiftboard. The company was chosen as a finalist in part because of its excellent customer service levels and customer success stories (case studies available at: http://www.shiftboard.com/web-based-scheduling-case-studies.html).

“Shiftboard is providing a business application for online scheduling as opposed to a shared calendar, which serves a different need and user,” explains CEO Rob Eleveld.  “Our system provides immediate payback.  By streamlining schedule communication, customers see a big reduction in emails and phone calls, typically doubling or tripling a scheduler’s productivity.  That results in less overhead and time required by management.”
