Latest Planning Software for Notebooks, Desktops, and Tablet PC Incorporates the FranklinCovey Planning System

SALT LAKE CITY, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FranklinCovey(R) NYSE: FC) and Agilix Labs(TM), Inc. announce the launch of PlanPlus for Windows XP, the companies' latest release of planning software.

PlanPlus for Windows XP, an upgrade for TabletPlanner 3.0 and the next generation for Franklin Planning Software, is a stand-alone planning system designed to bring the experience of using FranklinCovey Planning Pages to desktops, laptops, and Tablet PCs. The application allows the user to seamlessly implement the FranklinCovey planning methodology to successfully achieve long and short goals by linking them to daily tasks.

The software incorporates a calendar, contacts, and task management with enhanced features for daily and weekly planning, note-taking, and organization within the layout and functionality of a paper planning system.

As a stand-alone electronic planning system, PlanPlus for Windows XP targets desktop, notebook, or Tablet PC users with Windows XP who do not use Microsoft Outlook for their daily or weekly planning. It is a planning system with the look and functionality of a paper planner designed for people who are pen-centric and use a Tablet PC pen to enter a majority of their information.

"FranklinCovey and Agilix are pleased to add another software option for users who are seeking to implement FranklinCovey Principles on their digital
platform of choice," said Jeff Anderson, FranklinCovey vice president of technology, binders, and cases. "PlanPlus for Windows XP brings more functionality and a better user experience to TabletPlanner and Franklin Planning Software users than we have ever provided."

The user of the traditional FranklinCovey Planning Pages will be able to take advantage of the printing capabilities of PlanPlus for Windows XP, which provide the ability to print information, not only on plain paper, but on various FranklinCovey Planning Pages sizes as well.

PlanPlus for Windows XP is based on the FranklinCovey Planning System and includes tools to assist users in getting organized and focused on priorities to increase effectiveness. In addition, the software includes the Weekly Planning and Goal Planning tools taught in FranklinCovey's FOCUS: Achieving Your Highest Priorities workshop to assist users in implementing planning methods.

Like the FranklinCovey Planning Pages, PlanPlus for Windows XP offers features such as the Prioritized Daily Task List, Appointment Schedule, and Daily Notes section for each day. Users can print an electronic copy of virtually any document to the eBinder. The eBinder also offers customizable tabs which assists capturing, organizing, and storing information.

For the mobile user, PlanPlus for Windows XP offers synchronization with Palm OS handhelds and local and remote synchronization to Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server.

Tablet PC users will have digital ink support for all areas of the planning system. Users can take notes in their own handwriting and convert it to standard text.

In addition, PlanPlus for Windows XP offers the ability to import data from FranklinCovey Planning Software versions 7 and 8. FranklinCovey also offers PlanPlus for Microsoft Outlook software for Outlook-centric users.
