[1]HMS Software [1] has announced that its timesheet system, TimeControl [2], is now available as a subscription model. Since its first commercial release in 1994 TimeControl has been recognized around the world as one of the most popular and flexible multi-purpose timesheet solutions to meet today’s business challenges. TimeControl can be deployed to meet several timesheet requirements at once, time and attendance for payroll, vacation approvals and tracking for human resources, task updates for project management as well as financial requirements all from a single interface. Now with TimeControlOnline, clients are able to install TimeControl on-premises or subscribe to TimeControlOnline as a hosted service.
TimeControlOnline comes complete with all of the features already offered in TimeControl:
- A multi-browser timesheet interface
- Expense tracking
- TimeRequest to request and track vacation approvals
- TimeControl Mobile for timesheet entry from a smartphone
- Email notifications and missing-timesheet reporting
- Links to project management systems such as Microsoft Project, Oracle-Primavera and Deltek’s Open Plan and Cobra
- Links to Finance, HR and Payroll systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, ADP, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards
- Integration with Microsoft SharePoint
“We are thrilled to be able to be able to offer Timesheets as a Service (TaaS) with TimeControlOnline,” says Chris Vandersluis, President of HMS Software. “This will allow existing and prospective clients the opportunity to focus on enjoying the benefits of TimeControl without having to worry about the technical installation, infrastructure or support of the system. It is an ideal solution for companies who want to get up and running with a timesheet instantly.”
Subscribers to TimeControlOnline do not need to purchase server hardware, operating system licenses, databases or even TimeControl licenses nor will they need to hire or train technical personnel to install the system, do technical support, upgrades and maintenance of either TimeControl or any of the components.
“TimeControlOnline represents months of hard work and dedication from the HMS development staff,” notes Stephen Eyton-Jones, Director of Technical Services. “For the past 17 years we have been committed to ensuring that TimeControl remains on the cutting edge of technology. TimeControl was one of the first timesheets available on Windows, one of the first available on a client-server database, one of the first available on a browser and will now be available in the cloud.”
Clients will continue to enjoy the option of purchasing TimeControl. HMS is committed to supporting both on-premises installations of TimeControl and online subscriptions of TimeControlOnline. Subscriptions to TimeControlOnline are priced on a per user per month basis.
