Today more than ever, organizations need accurate, up-to-date information to make informed business decisions. Many organizations use time reporting systems to capture work and nonworking time for payroll, invoicing, and other business purposes. Similarly, project managers need to efficiently capture and communicate status on project work to help gauge progress and to anticipate the effect on planned effort, cost, and timeframes. Although the type and source of information is similar, divergent uses and requirements make it difficult for organizations to have a centralized and common approach to time reporting and task management.
Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution provides organizations with the flexibility they need to centralize time capture, streamline processes, automate task management, and increase the accuracy of project forecasting. Organizations can select how they want to capture working and nonworking time needed for statutory time recording and progress updates to project managers. .
Time reporting capabilities have been further enhanced in Microsoft¨ Project Server 2010 to provide a new Single Entry Mode to unify time and task status updates. The Web-based user interface for timesheet entry and task management has been standardized to speed learning and enhance experience. Users can quickly see and find relevant tasks and easily complete common activities. Time entry can include nonworking time and billing categories to support payroll, invoicing, and project costing applications.
Project Server 2010 also provides a single screen for managing approvals for timesheets, project updates, and administrative approvals. The information captured in the timesheet and task management process can be shared with line-of-business (LOB) applications that use time and progress information for processing.
