Application Support and Training – the nuts and bolts of using your software

There are so many software applications that your staff counts on everyday to get their work done and keep each other informed. From e-mail communications to critical application accounting and project management software, construction offices have invested time and money in software. Many offices only use a small fraction of the features available in these packages. Making better use of existing software or replacing out-of-date software are two of the ways to maximize your staff's time and resources. Syscon has been providing application support and training to our construction clients since 1986. Please visit our Application Support & Training page to see some of the ways we can help your company.

System Integration Programming – maximizing the power of multiple systems

After careful review of construction accounting software packages, a selection has been made. Unfortunately, the Estimating software does not integrate with the accounting package. Making this change will result in additional data entry, wasting time and opening up the potential for errors or incomplete data. What are the options? Syscon has been addressing these issues and other software communication issues since 1986. We have written programs that take existing data from one system and move it to another without additional data entry. Some of our integration programs take data and provide complex calculations for analysis or union reporting with no additional data entry. Please visit our System Integration Programming page for more examples and information.

Imaging and Workflow – Efficient Management of Documents and Transactions

When personal computers originally arrived in the office, the promise was one of a ‘paperless' future. Despite those promises, our offices continue to be filled with paper and our storage spaces with boxes! Locating documents – electronic and paper – can be time-consuming and frustrating. Imaging and Workflow software has risen to this challenge. Products such as Paperless Environments provide excellent solutions from storage and retrieval of existing electronic documents to moving everyday documents through electronic processing.
