What is HMS Software?
HMS is the publisher of TimeControl, the world's most flexible timesheet system. TimeControl is designed to link with both project management and finance systems so you can have a single timesheet interface provide data to all of your systems at once. TimeControl is able to fulfill the business requirements of payroll, human resources, project management, billing and government compliance all at the same time. It is ideally suited when task-based timesheets are needed to track the work being done by staff and when that information is then required not only to determine time and attendance but simultaneously must be used to update project systems, to determine values for billing, for R&D tax credits or for DCAA compliance. TimeControl links with Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Server, Project Online and Project for the Web, Oracle-Primavera's P6, Primavera EPPM, Deltek's EPM, VersionOne, ARES PRISM and InEight's HardDollar. Financial information from TimeControl integrates with SAP, Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, Microsoft Dynamics and many other Finance ERP systems.

As new users to the TimeControl solution, the HMS team is quick to respond and offers assistance whenever, wherever, and however needed by either fixing the issue themselves, or providing hands on training so that future updates can be made by our TimeControl Admins. We have now been using the TimeControl solution for almost one (1) year. Overall, we are happy we made the switch and have recently renewed our contract!

The fact that I can see what projects people are spending their hours on and what theyβre delivering for those hours is crucial. If we hadnβt made the change to TimeControl, we certainly wouldnβt have the level of key business metrics that weβre getting now. Weβre quickly realizing that we can do a lot more with our timekeeping data than we ever have.

As the person who was responsible for the selection of the product and its initial configuration I was impressed with the features and its flexibility to accommodate with ease the complexities of the contract for which it was originally acquired; since then we have continued to be very happy with the level of support, the frequency with which enhancements appear, and low level of effort required to maintain the system as we grow the company and take on new business. Using the system is an integral part of everybodyβs day, and we would be lost without it.
