Overview

While most TimeControl Express clients choose to set up the system themselves, some organizations request that HMS provide assistance with the initial setup of the system. The TimeControl Express QuikStart Assistance Program is structured to provide consulting and training to organizations in their start-up and implementation of TimeControl Express. As needs vary from organization to organization, the program outlined below is the one most often requested by mid-sized companies setting up TimeControl as their project-oriented timesheet system.

How it works

Following your purchase of TimeControl, one of our consultants will spend a day at your location working on the start-up, deployment and implementation of TimeControl. A few weeks prior to our on-site visit, we will send your TimeControl Administrator a QuikStart Checklist; a series of tasks that must be completed before your implementation to ensure that you get the full benefit from our QuikStart program. As well, our consultant will follow-up in the weeks prior to implementation to ensure you are on track and to answer any questions you may have.

What we will cover

The TimeControl QuikStart Assistance Program will cover the installation, and initial setup of your TimeControl system. Our consultant will help train your TimeControl Administrator in the few items he or she will need to know to get TimeControl up and running as quickly as possible.

Finally, we'll establish the basic procedures that your organization will be implementing so that your TimeControl system will start delivering consistent results immediately.

What you need to do

Your TimeControl Administrator must complete the QuikStart checklist prior to your implementation. Crucial to the smooth start-up and implementation of TimeControl, is the prior identification of the people responsible for different aspects of the timesheet process and the assurance that they will be available at specific times during implementation. The TimeControl Administrator should be available for the entire implementation.

Why it works

One word: leverage. The TimeControl QuikStart Assistance Program enables a consultant, not only experienced in TimeControl but in project management and timesheet systems, to spend time in your environment dedicated exclusively to the start-up and implementation of your TimeControl system - someone at your fingertips who has already climbed the learning curve you're beginning, and brings to the overall picture years of experience in assisting organizations just like yours in automating their project control environments.

What it costs

The TimeControl QuikStart Assistance Program is $1,500 US for the one-day program plus any travel and per diem expenses.

Who it's for

The TimeControl QuikStart Assistance Program is for organizations who need to have their timesheet system up and running in a stable and effective manner, in as short a timeframe as possible.
