Case Study: Gainer Donnelly achieves real-time staff tracking and improved communication with Savance EIOBoard

Improved Tracking of Accountants in a Mobile Environment

Gainer Donnelly, a Houston-based certified public accounting firm with 200+ employees, faced intrusive intercom paging, poor visibility into where mobile staff were, and inconsistent scheduling and visitor notification. IT Director Tricia Long evaluated options and chose Savance EIOBoard (Staff Tracking) in 2007 to provide real-time visibility, replace the loudspeaker system, and improve communication and scheduling across the firm.

Savance EIOBoard was implemented with desktop and mobile check‑in/out, Presence Sensing, Private Instant Messaging, Contact Sync and Future Status. The solution eliminated the intercom, reduced internal email, improved collaboration and scheduling (the tax department uses Future Status to ensure coverage), increased employee accountability, and achieved rapid adoption—EIOBoard is now part of Gainer Donnelly’s new‑hire training.
