Several years ago, a contracting firm I was involved with decided they needed to investigate the market for a suitable software suite to manage their business effectively.
Put in charge of the investigation, I researched every software package available on both the Australian and overseas markets. I watched videos, attended trade shows, conducted trials and grilled vendors.
Time after time, my comparison charts showed one product to be head and shoulders above the rest. That product was Acorn Software’s simPRO. Based on my recommendation, the investment was made and we started to use it.
I can safely say it was the best business development decision we ever made. Apart from the software’s brilliance, we found the support and co-operation from Acorn Software to be beyond expectation. They traveled to our remote Queensland location to demonstrate the product then revisited for several days to assist with implementation and training.
It is one thing to have an accurate off-the-job estimate and operate on-the-job without any knowledge the difference between the same specific estimated and actual tasks, missing out on variations and repeating the same future estimating mistakes over and over again …
and another is to have an integrated off-the-job accurate estimate and on-the-job operational project management system comparing estimated and actual tasks providing captured variations and valuable lessons learnt providing updated information for future improvements.
The implementation of an integrated systemized process based management system such as simPRO in all business management and operational activities will dramatically increase the chances of success by capturing all the information required to make informed decisions and improvements required for success.
By integrating every aspect of your business you remove duplication of work, creating efficiency. simPRO will provide operational training on the overall INTEGRATED system.
WE WILL NOT ONLY SET UP THE ESTIMATING MODULE FOR YOU BUT ALSO ASSIST IN THE INTEGRATION TO THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT MODULE.
