Brian- There are more of these than you can shake a stick at. I remember after realizing $25,000 into the wrong program, discussing it with a GC customer who told me they had a similar mistake- except at a zero at the end.
Depends what you need it to do, what cost acctg you'e expecting it to track if costs are involved, or if you simply want scheduling; budget; ease of use; You might be better asking those in a similar capacity and similarly sized firms as to what they have found successful- and what they haven't like is as important. For our overall project scheduling, we just use a spreadsheet on Exel, jobs down the left, some #des hrs, #hds, #lab hrs to the right summarizing the estimate, and then L to R we have columns for the upcoming weeks with design and labor hrs per job on each job's lines, and a summary on the bottom- divided by 40 to get the # folks needed to accomplish it staring you in the face, good or bad. glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Drucker Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 3:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Job Tracking Software MS Project & Primavera Suretrak http://www.microsoft.com/project/en/us/default.aspx http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/042378.htm Used both, MSP is less money but PST is the leader.
