(Original )Information
What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Projector is very user friendly. Over 80% of the company's staff works remotely. Expense reporting can be a daunting task for both staff and the accounting department. Projector is very user. The staff is able to complete this task remotely in a timely and efficient manner. Since receipts are easily attached to the expense report, staff can submit everything on-line, eliminating copying receipts and mailing back everything to our corporate office. The cloning feature for expense reporting, makes it less daunting for our staff, when one trip needs to be split by multiple projects. Our accounting department utilizes many of Projector's reporting to accurately reconcile and quickly process the expense reports.

The Project Management system is used extensively for both of our companies. We can easily roll-up all of profitability margins for both companies. In addition to project management, we utilize invoicing and time management. Time management ensures accurate billing for our hourly projects. Fixed fee projects can be monitored to determine resources and profitability. We can easily bill clients for travel and receipts are automatically attached to the invoices. There are numerous features we are constantly becoming aware of as our business needs change. Projector has been very responsive in helping us meet our objectives as these changes arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Our company is looing into streamlining all of our systems to reduce double entry from Projector, CRM and Accounting. Projector has solutions as we determine when we need to redirect our efforts in full integrations of all of business solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Unable to schedule resources for the month. It is only able to do it weekly. IE I have a 200-hour contract for the month, I want that to self spread over the period. I must do it for each week which creates a lot of admin time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Projector is architect ed and designed to efficiently plan forecast the revenue and profit for services project backlog and sales pipeline. It is designed very effectively for use by consulting managers, operations staff and Finance staff. We selected Projector after a thorough review of the leading PSA tools. It is the best PSA tool for a software or services firm that has a portfolio of many small and medium size projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Very little. As with any PSA tool, implementation is largely about change management as you must adopt the application to the organization structure, processes and business rules of your company. With 75 managers to train and mentor this was a significant program but I believe the cost in time and expense was less than any other option considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

If you consider the implementation, change management and ongoing support cost to maintain project, resource and rates required to produce project plans and organizational revenue/profit forecasts, take a serious look at Projector. The total cost of ownership is much less than other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

I liked their knowledge of the product and how PSA tool should work. I liked the integrity and honesty of the team I worked with. I liked the partnership and team work across the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Not really a dislike but we are looking forward to the entire application to be on their Projector Web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Make sure you know what you want your PSA tool to do for you. Projector PSA has a powerful tool that can do many things so you should know what you want out of it. These are smart, honest, great people to work with. Projector PSA people care. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

ProjectorPSA was brought in-house for a couple of main reasons. We need to have a more transparent picture for resourcing people onto projects and knowing exactly how many hours they needed for each project. The second reason was the fact that this is what Projector does for a living so they had all of the answers right there for us. We have been able to remove almost all of our excel spreadsheets for resourcing purposes. Project Managers are able to see how their projects are doing at any minute of the day.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Projector PSA is a great tool to keep all your project financials in one place. As long as the data entered is correct, the tool produces all of the reports you would need. The best part is that the support team responds with detailed direction in a timely manner and are super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

There were some reports that I wish I could manipulate differently, but that was for a very specific need that I would not really expect the tool to have. I also wish milestone billing would send notifications when milestone dates hit. There could be a function like this , but I did not explore it as I figured out a work around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

As long as you can manage your team to enter their hours and the data you enter is correct, Projector really helps manage revenue recognition and accuracy in billing/reporting. The resourcing dashboard is also really smart and makes it easy to see if resources are under or over utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve can be steep with the intricacies and chain effects. It seems everything affects everything else, so understanding what does what is complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

We had outgrown our spreadsheet-based timesheets and invoices! We made the move to ProjectorPSA and within a month we had all our projects in one place with everyone finding it easy to capture expenses and timesheets on time (online). Month-end was completed within 2 days with all Invoices generated and send to customers! Even contractors were impressed with the simplicity of capturing timesheets! We were able to cater for all the different invoicing requirements from our Customers. The visibility it gave management into engagements, projects and resource utilization are some of the important factors for us still using it after 5 years. The customisable reports make it easy to answer any question. We are very satisfied users of ProjectorPSA and highly recommend it to other service related businesses! Customer service is excellent with quick response from knowledgeable experts! Fully detailed help files that explains everything in detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Nothing particular. Here and there are small things that can make life easier, but I know the Projector team are working constantly on improvements and can't wait to see what they roll out next. It does the basics well and that is the most important factor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Highly Recommended! Just go for it! You will not be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our primary requirement was to integrate employee time capturing with project management and invoicing. As consultants we are based at client sites and thus needed a cloud based solution at a price that a small to medium size company can afford. ProjectorPSA solved all these requirements and more!
