Project Cost
Automation Consultants can improve the efficiency of companies that manage technical projects. We believe that demand for science and technology will be increasing and urge our clients to prepare now by implementing an efficient cost accounting system.
Often marginalized, cost accounting is critical to technology firms now that the world is demanding more rigorous accounting. Cost accounting particularly benefits technology companies because they naturally understand how to plan, measure, and evaluate. Being a technology company, we have evaluated many project-oriented software combinations that include cost accounting, both for ourselves and our clients.
We now offer a great project-oriented software combination: industry standard Microsoft Dynamics GP for accounting, Dynamics CRM to boost marketing and professional activities, Microsoft Project to plan, with Project Cost to track time and materials.
The secret ingredient is Project Cost, which helps optimize project management. The overall combination is great for engineering, research, engineer-to-order, and professional services organizations. It complies with DCAA and FARS for government contracting, and also manages internal projects without adding too much overhead.
