WHY CHANGE?

What would you like to see come out of the new system? Service Accounting Operations Preconstruction Human Resources

WHY CHANGE?

Our current system contains a linear accounting mindset and does not encompass project management functionality.

The current system has only provided basic regulatory updates over the past 5 years, leaving the system obsolete.

Using the current system, transactions are posted weekly and reports are generated monthly for the project and service staff.

THE FUTURE…
