With the advent of TimeControl version 6.9, Administrators can now configure TimeControl to have timesheets other than a 7 day week. Of course exports from TimeControl could already be of different intervals. It has been common for years to have a weekly integration with the project management system but a bi-weekly link to payroll. Timesheets could now be 14 days long (bi-weekly) or bi-monthly or monthly or quarterly or custom length. But with all that…
HMS received a great letter recently from Sandoz, a world leading pharmaceutical firm. Six years ago, one of Sandoz’s divisions in Canada deployed TimeControl to help with R&D tax credit tracking.

The company, HMS, has been around for 31 years and the original HMS Software website was established in the mid 1990’s just aver the release of the original Netscape browser. (remember Netscape?!) There’s a picture of the website from 1998 or so (thanks to the Wayback machine).…

Ok, it’s a strange title for a blog post but so is the circumstance. I’ll be in Scottsdale, AZ (A suburb of Phoenix) at the end of September for the Hard Dollar Conference. I’ll be co-presenting a paper with Erik Marthinsen, the President of BASEMETHOD of Calgary. We’re speaking on how to solve sub-contract management challenges by using a combination of Hard Dollar’s HD PCM and TimeControl Industrial. The Hard Dollar InEight Experience 2014 conference…
It’s been a crazily busy time at HMS the last few weeks. We’ve welcome a wave of new clients, started big initiatives with some existing clients and of course there’s no stop to the regular work load. Amongst our biggest news is the release of TimeControl 6.7. I had always known that this last wave of removing ActiveX components from TimeControl would be the most challenging. There were so many things under the surface that…

HMS Software was founded in 1984 and we’ll be celebrating all year with contests, give-aways and images from our ancient past and just to get things started, here’s something nostalgic.

It’s been a busy but great 4 weeks. First, we received a couple of fabulous testimonials at HMS from our clients. ASL Environmental Sciences sent the first one. They’re an Oceanographic specialist based in western Canada. Then another great letter comes in from ESI Inc. of Tennessee. Both are delighted clients and that makes our day around here. I got a chance to meet with the PMI Central Illinois Chapter and talk about Data Mining. …
