Here at HMS we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of TimeControl. When we first released the TimeControl Timesheet back in 1994 we expected this to be the first of many applications we’d write but TimeControl took over our lives and now, 30 years later, those of us who have been with HMS Software for all of that time are somewhat amazed.
The product was envisaged to be a timesheet that could simultaneously server both Project Management and Finance and that was not only unusual for the time, it continues to be an exception today. TimeControl serves multiple corporate processes depending on an organization’s needs including project management, payroll, billing, human resources, job costing, R&D tax credits, DCAA compliance, contractor management and more.
Over the years TimeControl has evolved many times. Our current version, 8.5 is the 52nd major version of the product we’ve released, each one with numerous new or enhanced features. TimeControl now comes in multiple editions including TimeControl on-premise, TimeControl Industrial on-premise, TimeControl Online, our Software as a Service edition, TimeControl Industrial Online and TimeControl Project.
We launched the Software as a Service subscription edition of TimeControl in 2011 where it has delivered a better than 99.9% up-time ever since. We launched the TimeControl Mobile interface that same year in 2011 and the free TimeControl Mobile App for Apple and Android devices in 2015.
Through all of that, we’ve deployed TimeControl into some incredible organizations around the world in both the private and public sectors. You would recognize many of their names.
It’s been an incredible run, longer than many software companies even survive and we’re nowhere near done. TimeControl 8.6 will ship before the end of this year with loads of new and updated features and we’re already designing a major release for 2025.
So, thanks to all the incredible clients who have used TimeControl for so long (some clients have had continuous use of TimeControl for over 26 years!) and to all the staff, partners and vendors who help make TimeControl so remarkable!
