Your software company should work for you 

Deltek has been the 800-pound gorilla in the A&E space for a long time. Lots of firms default to using Deltek VantagePoint because it’s the name they know. But they’ve also built byzantine software that works for the world’s largest multinational firms. If you don’t need to be simultaneously GAAP and IFRS compliant across 50 jurisdictions, it’s going to be a lot. Check out BQE CORE – it’s configurable enough for all but the largest firms but easy enough to use that your firm won’t rebel. Plus we have some great people providing great service.   

 

And if you are an Ajera user considering switching to VantagePoint, please consider: it’s an entirely new system on an entirely new database. Put another way, it’s just as easy (or easier) to switch to BQE CORE. 

Why BQE CORE rather than Deltek?
(Because you
didn’t root for the Empire in Star Wars…)

"Dashboards are an amazing quick view of an overall snapshot of what is going on. I love the ability to customize and set up multiple dashboards for Accounting, HR, Project Management, etc. The ability to fine-tune a time period is one of the best features. Time Sheets are easy to use for staff with minimal training."

"We're a small firm that varies in size and BQE CORE allows the flexibility to expand and contract and provide our staff the tools to manage their workflow, work within budgeted fees and time allocation, and track milestones and progress of project delivery. While many simply clock in, they don't monitor their progress and CORE provides a daily snapshot of time management and meeting project schedules, while I was the principal of design can do more of that…design! "

"BQE CORE is used in the company mainly to track time spent working on projects for third-party companies so we can bill them for that time. It's easy to track time with this tool due to its simplicity; it's been a breeze to integrate it with the flow of each employee who needs to use it with minimal effort in training. BQE CORE is a great tool for big teams."

"We use BQE CORE for Project Management, Time & Expense tracking, Accounting and Billing, Human Resources and as a CRM Platform. Being able to input information into one platform for use across many different modules saves time and energy on our administrative staff. All of the data is tracked and displayed in efficient widgets and customizable dashboards. The customized reports are very helpful as well. You can drill down all or only what you want to see. Customer service is responsive and able to sort out issues quickly."

"We utilize BQE CORE to track hours, manage projects, and organize our work. The ease of use and access we have to monitor our utilization is amazing; the ability to compile reports from time entry memos makes project closeout a breeze. Specifically, BQE CORE is just a massive time saver and the additional widgets allow for monitoring of individual employee metrics (utilization rates, budget, etc.) which has really been an eye-opener."
