Moving from Excel to TimeControl for timesheets There are hundreds of free templates online for doing timesheets in Excel. So what are the advantages of moving from Excel to TimeControl for timesheet management?

Timesheets have been being created in Microsoft's Excel since it first came onto the market. At first glance, it would seem to be a natural fit. Looking at a timesheet interface from any timesheet system in the world and it virtually always looks like a grid. There are columns and rows that track things to charge time against and the periods of time to charge time in. At the right and bottom of the grid are sub totals showing the sums of each column and row. What could be a better fit than a spreadsheet for showing this interface?

First impressions though can be deceiving. While thousands of organizations start with Excel timesheets using one of the many free online templates or creating their own, they soon find that just getting hte interface filled out is only a tiny part of the timesheet exercise. We can show you how TimeControl can provide advantages that take timesheets well beyond the Excel model. It may be a great place to start for the simplest of organizations but once the number of people filling out timesheets starts to grow and data starts to accumulate, the interest in a full timesheet system like TimeControl may be of more interest. Take a look at our Webcast and PowerPoint slides for more on this subject.
