SIRE launches Agenda Plus 5.0 including management of agendas, documents, committees, minutes and video

Salt Lake City, UT— SIRE Technologies announced today a new beginning for how city and county meetings can be managed from beginning to end. The new SIRE Agenda Plus™ 5.0 is the first and only solution that brings together agenda creation, minutes taking, committee management, and video management from a single source.

“City and county clerks now have a resource they have never had before: a streamlined program to more easily manage every aspect of the meetings they are responsible for. They don’t have to deal with cumbersome methods or integration difficulties any more,” said Kris Painter, President of SIRE Technologies. “By combining several solutions into one holistic platform, we allow information to flow effortlessly in ways that are simply not possible when systems are integrated from different vendors. Now, with Agenda Plus 5.0, information can be directed to the appropriate people, deadlines can be automatically enforced and city and county clerks have the power to manage the entire lifecycle of agenda items with ease through one, single solution.” SIRE Technologies pioneered the agenda management industry with the initial launch of Agenda Plus which allowed clerks to automate several time-intensive agenda procedures. The next evolution of agenda management is found in the following modules that add to the capabilities of Agenda Plus:

  • SIRE Minutes Plus™: Rapidly record and create meeting minutes and spend less time preparing to publish. Each agenda item is linked to supporting material and video.
  • SIRE Video Plus™: Broadcast meetings and other public events live or recorded via the Internet. Video stored on the site is searchable so citizens access only the portions they want to view.
  • SIRE Committee Manager™: Track committee members, their terms, who appointed them and what they have accomplished. Search and find detailed information about a committee, council or board or one of its members, past or current.
  • Painter continued, “City and county clerks have pleaded for the market to provide a cost-effective solution for managing video; we’ve done it. They asked for a faster way to create meeting minutes; we’ve done it. They asked for increased security; we’ve done it. Reliability and cost of ownership is lower than the competition because it requires less hardware and eliminates integration costs. With our new system, users have options and functions they have never before seen that helps provide better outcomes they never thought possible.”
