People are not typically able to go into TimeControl and see everyone’s data. TimeControl does this already for historical timesheet data. The organization could be modest in size, very large in size, but an administrator controls what views and what data people get access to. Vandersluis: The way that we have structured TimeControl Project is for an organization rather than an individual. TimeControl Project is able to present to me things like that that are of interest to me in a spreadsheet because that would be most familiar and effective for me.ĬEOCFO: Would a user pick what they want and setup parameters? As a CEO, where I am putting my own time right now is thinking about the 2023 budget, the 2022 actuals to date, looking at long- term forecasts, looking at resource levels now and for the future. Someone at a strategic level like an executive, has almost no interest in that. That person would look at that list of cards and immediately be able to say, “Ok that is great, I know what to do, I know the timeframe to do it in, I can get on and do the things I do best.” A supervisor could then drag a card into that person’s list of things to do this week, and maybe add three or four cards to say that these are the three or four things that I want you to get done before the week is over. They’re going to be much more interested in just knowing what they would be working on this week, so TimeControl Project can present them with a View that is often referred to in project management terms as Agile Project Management by presenting a board of cards on the screen. Someone at a tactical level, someone who is, say, a programmer would probably not be interested in the overall project schedule. All three of those people may be involved in project management in some way but we see their perspectives as quite distinct, so we have allowed for those in TimeControl Project so that people in different roles of the organization can get different things from the product. We have seen over the years that the project management perspective from someone who is an executive at a strategic level, is very different from the view of someone who is maybe more operational doing project schedules, and different again from somebody at a more tactical frontline role of someone perhaps writing code or doing engineering design. It is rather unique in the way that we are attacking the project management space, in that we have taken into account multiple perspectives in an organization. That is a premium prescription to TimeControl where people can then get additional views and functionality for project management and resource management as part of their TimeControl system. TimeControl Online is our SaaS subscription service, and TimeControl Project is associated to TimeControl Online. Vandersluis: We have TimeControl available in several different editions. We are no longer just looking at the historical tracking of time but now also planning time in the future and allocating that time to corporate resources. That continues but we have extended our focus in the last couple years to a brand- new facet of TimeControl called TimeControl Project. Vandersluis: Our company for the longest time has been focused on timesheets for the enterprise timesheet market, and particularly for those who need timesheets in a project management context, not just time and attendance or time and billing as you might see in a payroll system or a professional’s invoicing system, but time when it is associated with what you did with your time, not just how much of it you spent. Vandersluis, HMS Software has a long history what is your focus right now? Enterprise Timesheet Company, HMS Software has extended their reach into Project Management and now TimeControl Project and Planning Time Into the FutureĬEOCFO: Mr.
