The Problem
|
Existing Filemaker Database solution which they use for Time Cards and billing purposes was not giving them the reports they needed to process their projects and to benefit from the tool they invested so much money in.

| Our Solution |
Amended their existing Filemaker Database to create hourly job reports by employee and project, created a portable Palm link to the customer DB in Filemaker and created a web timecard entry for consultants. We also setup a Terminal Server and VPN so that key employees and principals could do work and project management from any location.
