The Action pane, or Ribbon as it is called in Office, enables the user to easily navigate to any related function or process. Eliminating menu searches with forward, back and history buttons, helps you find things more quickly, with fewer clicks and less pain. Contextual intelligence is provided with simple rollover of the mouse, or a single click hyperlink. Regardless of the challenges facing an ETO organization, it makes sense to simplify how the team gets work done.
