HMS Software and Hard Dollar Form Strategic Alliance
Publishers of TimeControl will team with project cost management specialists Hard Dollar to create a comprehensive project cost management solution
Montreal, Canada, September 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- HMS Software, the publishers of TimeControl, the leading multi-purpose timesheet system, has announced a new technical alliance partnership with Hard Dollar Corporation of Scottsdale, Arizona. The collaboration will allow Hard Dollar and HMS to team together to provide an integrated cost estimating, field data collection and cost control system to clients of both companies.
"We are very excited about our new alliance with Hard Dollar," explains Chris Vandersluis, President of HMS Software. "Hard Dollar is a leader in project cost management software and a highly regarded, experienced solution provider. Working together, we believe we can bring a combination of the Hard Dollar software and our TimeControl Industrial field data collection system to market as a powerful integrated solution."
TimeControl Industrial is an edition of HMS Software's popular timesheet solution that is designed for deployment in an industrial situation. It includes functionality to allow collection of a high volume of project progress data in the field including timesheet data for crews, material consumption, equipment usage and even production accomplished.
The combination of Hard Dollar's project cost management (PCM) software and TimeControl Industrial will deliver predefined project estimating and planning data directly to the field. TimeControl Industrial will be used to collect and approve the project actuals and send data back to Hard Dollar for project costing, progress measurement, earned value analysis and forecasting. Other corporate systems will also use the data provided such as payroll, invoicing and project schedule advancement.
"Integrating with best of breed systems such as TimeControl is one of the marquis functions of Hard Dollar," says Doug Nicholas, CEO of Hard Dollar. "The TimeControl field data collection system will provide our clients with additional opportunities for increased visibility, and real time cost and productivity collection for their projects. We're very much looking forward to working with the HMS team."
Both organizations have already set up technical teams to work on designing and delivering an integrated solution that combines the functionality of both systems in a seamless manner. Dates for the public availability of the integrated solution have yet to be announced.
