Wow, what a year!

Thanks to our remarkable clients 2014 was a record year of growth and productivity for us.  HMS experienced growth in every category including services, TimeControl for on-premise, our subscribed TimeControlOnline service and even support services.  So, a big thank you to both our dedicated staff and, of course, our expanding clientele.  2014 was our 30th year of operation and 20th year of operation for TimeControl but we feel like we’re just getting started.
In 2014 we released TimeControl 6.7 and 6.8 including such popular and powerful features as the TimeControl Workflow engine and the new Accruals Module.  We also finally said goodbye to the last of our old ActiveX controls.  They continue to be supported as a legacy feature but new installations of TimeControl won’t even see them by default.
2015 promises to be even more exciting!  We are already putting the final touches on TimeControl 6.9 which is scheduled for release in February and design is underway for a major new wave of TimeControl which we’ll tell you more about during the summer.  We’ll be giving you a sneak peek at the new marquis feature of TimeControl 6.9 right here in the blog in the next couple of weeks!
So, 30 years of HMS history are now behind us but the best is yet to come!

It’s TimeControl’s 20th Anniversary!

Yes, TimeControl is no longer a teenager!  It’s HMS Software’s 30th Anniversary (We’re now 30-something) and TimeControl is now 20.
image HMS Software was founded in 1984 and we’ll be celebrating all year with contests, give-aways and images from our ancient past and just to get things started, here’s something nostalgic.  Yes, this is a video of TimeControl 1.0.1, the first version of TimeControl released to market in January of 1994.
