I’m quite flattered that Business Talk Magazine has elected to name me one of their Influential Business Leaders of 2024. I had mentioned the website for this magazine a while back but this week, the November 2024 edition was released including the entire article. As great as that is, I also got this quite nifty certificate which, you can be sure I will have framed and mounted in the office. My thanks to Business Talk…
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 TimeControl. You can see…
I was recently interviewed by Business Talk Magazine about the 40 years leading HMS Software, and making it into a leading publisher of project management and project timekeeping systems. It was fun to describe the evolution of TimeControl over 30 years from version 1.0 in 1994 to the soon-to-be released version 8.6.

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…
It’s always great to be interviewed to talk about HMS and TimeControl and how the company has evolved over the last 40 years. This time the interview can be found on TrepTalks where I talked to Sushant Misra for almost an hour about the business and the trends in the software and project management industries. You can hear the entire episode at: https://treptalks.com/interviews/chris-vandersluis-of-hms-software.
I was delighted to be interviewed once again by Starter Story to talk about HMS and TimeControl This was a one-year follow up from a previous review of HMS and TimeControl and features our progress since the original interview.

I confess that I’m old enough to have used such a typewriter to get my papers done in college. But perhaps that helps make it still a bit of a thrill to see my words in print. This week, the PMWorld Journal had an article I’d written called Is the era of the Project Management Office at an end? Even if you don’t find my article that interesting, there is much more for project managers…
You would think it would be easy. After all, timesheets mostly look all the same don’t they? Well, that’s often true but the front end of the timesheet isn’t the challenge. Mostly timesheets look like a grid and you enter hours or some value in columns and rows. It’s once that data has arrived into the timesheet that it becomes more challenging. A timesheet might be used by an end user for 5 or 10…
I was delighted to be interviewed once again by CEO/CFO magazine. I last talked to them about a year ago so our focus was on what we’ve accomplished at HMS Software in the last year. I talked about our recent release 8.4 of TimeControl and the market reception of our new TimeControl Project.

I’m very excited to be in Dallas this week to speak in person at the 15th Annual University of Texas Dallas Project Management Symposium. This is a great event every year and I couldn’t be happier to have been asked to speak. My topic is: Is the Era of the Project Management Office at an End? Which I’ll be presenting on Tuesday, May 23rd. If you will there, please say hi!
