Media interview on XRaised

I am going to be making a better effort to blog the different media interviews I get to do over the year. Here it he latest. It's a podcast interview on XRaised. I hope to share about another, this one in print that should come out in the next week or two.

Over the years I’ve been interviewed in the media a number of times.  Sometimes it’s very simple, sometimes more involved.  I will be making more of an effort to get all these media connections here onto the EPM Guidance blog.  Here is the latest. I was recently interviewed on the XRaised podcast and got to talk about the 40 years of leading HMS Software and the remarkable 30 year history of…

It's the 40th Anniversary of HMS Software!

It's the 40th Anniversary of HMS Software, the company I founded and manage. It's been an incredible career there and I hope to see it continue for many years to come.

HMS Software, the company I run and founded turns 40 this year.  If you had asked me back in 1984 if I thought the company would be around 40 years hence I’d have laughed.  I was in my mid 20s at the time.  The idea of anything lasting 40 years was mind boggling but here we are.  My own start in the project management software industry is probably a year or so older but HMS Software was the start…

Is it getting harder to support an on-premise enterprise system?

Is it getting harder to support an on-premise enterprise system? We see more and more of our on-premise TimeControl clients migrating to TimeControl Online SaaS subscriptions even though we support both on-prem and online.

Only a few years ago we wouldn’t have even had this conversation.  Even with Software as a Service becoming more popular over 10 years ago, the conventional wisdom at the time was that significant enterprise systems would always be housed in-house. That conventional wisdom has changed. Big IT vendors like Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon have pushed hard for organizations to shift to an online…

Where does TimeControl stand in the use of AI?

Where does TimeControl stand in the use of AI? Further than you might think.

HMS started using AI techniques in TimeControl back in 1999.  Surprised?  Artificial Intelligence has been around awhile and you probably wouldn’t have noticed how we leveraged it back in 99.  At that time we created a communications protocol called “HMI” for TimeControl to transmit enormous volumes of TimeControl data through the Internet.  It had the capability of re-routing traffic based on…

Supporting contractors in your corporate systems

Managing Contractors can be a massive challenge for many organizations. TimeControl and TimeControl Industrial were built for that challenge.

We often speak with organizations who are struggling with how to integrate their contractors into their corporate systems.  Payroll is rarely a problem.  The contractor is almost always paid by their own employer and that employer will submit an invoice for their person’s time.  It is in the project management and timesheet tracking areas where contractors become a more logistical nightmare. …
