TimePro versus In-House Software Development
Ever thought about the costs and implications of building your own system versus purchasing a solution? Here are some compelling reasons why you should consider TimePro over developing an in-house solution from scratch.
Cost
Building your own time tracking solution can be very expensive taking into account consulting fees, hardware costs, technical staff and on-going support and maintenance costs. Setting up your own system can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. TimePro's monthly fees range from as low as $5 per person for a 100 user licence per month or only $7 per person for a 5 user licence per month. There is no minimum contract length so TimePro is a low risk and flexible cost effective solution.
Security
TimePro uses industry standard security including 24x7 monitoring of our service, optional 128 bit (SSL) encryption, automatic logout and nightly data backup. Each customer also has their own distinct data storage area. Can you afford to invest in all of these measures yourself?
Accessibility
Using installed software can be tricky if you don't always work off the same machine. Remote access into Virtual Private Networks and Local Area Networks can also be expensive and difficult to configure. TimePro is available from any computer with Internet access, on your own network or across the globe.
Upgrades
You can spend hours installing and configuring traditional packaged software. Configuring a server can take many hours, and that often is repeated when your business grows and requirements change. TimePro is constantly being upgraded,and users enjoy multiple updates per year at little or no additional cost.
Support
Will your in-house I.T. department be able to assist you with questions anytime of the working day? TimePro offers responsive web-based support for all nominated customer contacts, including updated frequently asked questions and online documentation. Customers on our Premium or Custom plans also receive telephone support.
Looking Ahead
Our recent release of TimePro ver 3.6 introduced significant new functionality including a fully automated Timesheet Authorisation feature for Managers and advanced integration with MYOB to handle the invoicing of work-in-progress. In addition TimePro's online help guide was enhanced along with minor fixes/enhancements. If you require further information or would like to upgrade your account then click here
Our next release of TimePro ver 3.7 will be aimed at Project Managers. The upcoming Project Managers module will integrate with tools such as Microsoft Project and more. It will allow the user to import Tasks into TimePro and then allocate these Tasks to specific projects. Task estimates and actuals will be recorded to provide statistical information and reports to better manage projects. Ver 3.7 is due for release in 3rd QTR 2004.
Toward the end of the year, TimePro is scheduled to be launched into the International marketplace. Initial countries to be targeted include New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Philippines and Republic of South Africa.
Enhancement Requests
Most of the new features in TimePro are the direct result of feedback from our existing and potential customers. If you have some ideas for enhancements that you would like to share with us then email your comments to support@timesheets.com.au
