Companies can focus on increasing profitability and efficiencies from using our software rather than wasting energy and inevitable implementation delays on making sure they have a state-of-the-art server or have the latest security patch from Microsoft.
What is the Project Structure?
DOVICO Planning & Timesheet can handle a complex project structure, though be default it has the following levels of information. You may also customize the terminology according to your needs (i.e. instead of Client, you could use Department, Business Unit, etc.).
 
How is Security handled?
We know you are concerned about security within your new project time tracking software purchase. With this in mind DOVICO Planning & Timesheet has many built in security features for the protection of your private data.
Besides an exclusive encrypted login algorithm designed by us, DOVICO Software has permission based security allowing for managers to specify each employees access. Providing them with only the information that is needed by that employee to do his/her role within the organization. This powerful security integration allows dictation of access to views or data entry.
If your organization is currently using Windows authentication you will benefit from a single sign in process. Of course additional external security methods are also available using Microsoft SQL Server Security Accounts (requires Microsoft SQL Server software), Secure Socket Layer (SSL, HTTPS), Virtual Private Networking (VPN) and NTFS File System Security.
If you have questions about security or would like to discuss with our technical staff before implementation then please contact our helpful technical support specialists.
Should I develop this application myself?
The question is which option suits your needs?
Advances in information technology have created more complexity in defining costs and risks associated with building your own solution. At the same time, a high sense of urgency to make these decisions exists. When faced with the very important question of whether to buy an off-the-shelf time tracking software or to "create" your own, companies need to evaluate costs (including risks) and benefits of both alternatives. However, because costs and risks associated with in-house software development are most often underestimated, it is important to consider what could happen when a company decides to develop their own application.

What do I need to know about DOVICO?
How long has DOVICO been in business?
A company with 15 + years experience has proven it can stand the test of time. It is preventative practice for you to ask yourself, "Will this company be there to support us in one to three years?".
Training staff and implementing new web timesheet software is too expensive to make a decision without this consideration.
Is DOVICO financially stable?
Although private companies don't publish their profit ratios, you may want to ask this question and get a reaction. Consider the impact of training your staff ($$$) and find out that the company is having financial problems! Any corporate financial problems can be an especially detrimental blow in the case of Hosted (SaaS) Software solutions, as you could lose your entire database (as we have seen in many cases). Rest assured, DOVICO is a profitable project time management software company.
Does DOVICO provide the highest level of product and service support?
Every company claims they have great customer service and support. Ways to evaluate this are to call and see if you speak to a machine or a real person. If you are greeted by a machine in normal business hours, then you are already getting a message of your importance.
