Pacific Timesheet Offers Crew Timesheet Options via SaaS

April 5, 2011 Alex Woodie

Pacific Timesheet, a provider of software as a service (SaaS)-based timesheet and attendance solutions, recently announced the availability of a Web-based crew timesheet feature designed to be used by workers in construction and field services.

Pacific Timesheet is a Las Vegas-based company that develops a range of timesheet related software products, including time and attendance, time-off, and project time tracking. The company claims about 1,000 customers across several industries, and integration with the payroll, accounting, and human resources modules of many popular ERP systems, including IBM i-specific packages like JD Edwards, Infinium, MAPICS, VistaCare, Series 2000, and Med Series 4.

In mid-March, Pacific Timesheet unveiled new configuration capabilities in its SaaS-based timesheet offering that are intended to help manage crews that work in remote job sites or provide other field services. The SaaS option enables workers to check in and check out using any Web-capable device.

The new configuration options give customers the capability to use multiple timesheet formats and to modify their timesheet over time, while not requiring retraining in the use of the timesheet system, the company says.

The new features will be useful to construction firms and other customers that track work data in different ways, says Jim Dickerson, vice president of operations for Pacific Timesheet. “These enhanced configuration tools allow customers to have an unlimited number of crew timesheet and time tracking templates from which to choose when track particular jobs in for multiple jobs in many locations,” he says.

YOUR ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO BE THINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT YOUR
BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY STRATEGY

Heightened Concerns of the Industry

Inefficient manual backup processes
Effectively storing data offsite
Developing and testing a concrete disaster recovery plan
Efficient access to data in disaster scenario for necessary users
Risk of cyber security attack
Declining IT staff and resources

The true cause of the above concerns is the “new normal” that is the COVID-19 pandemic and an organization’s status quo:

80% of IBM i users currently backup to tape and 40% of companies
have no DR plan at all.

DURING THIS UNPRESENTEDED TIME, DON’T WAIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
TO SUFFER A DISASTER TO TAKE ACTION.

The new way to ensure cost-effective safety

Automated cloud backup
Two remote sites – redundant storage, power, internet pipe, firewalls, etc.
Data encryption at all times – in-flight and at-rest
Fully managed remote hardware DR, including remote VPN access for necessary users
Regularly simulated phishing tests and cyber security training

Potential “landmines” in solutions to avoid

Single point of storage – no redundancy
Misleading data analysis, compression/de-dup ratios, sizing of necessary computer resources for backup and DR
Large scale cloud storage with difficult recovery
Inability to meet RTO/RPO

Don’t get caught like the many organizations we’ve seen with inefficient
exposed backup data and no DR plan!

WHAT VAULT400 HAS TO OFFER

Backup

Native software agent schedules backups to the UCG cloud based on your retention scheme
Client data is backed up to two data centers in US or two data centers in Canada
AES 256-bit encryption in-flight and at-rest – 0nly client has the encryption key
Detailed data analysis to ensure proper sizing
