General Contractors
WIMCO Corporation
“After experiencing more than 35% growth in the last 3 years, by having Project
Collaborator, eForms, and Document Imaging/Electronic Workflow applications,
WIMCO saves over $5,000/week in labor cost alone. This figure does not include numerous
indirect costs that are associated with human resources and standard overhead.
We could never have done it without eCMS.”
Darlene Moore, VP of Finance
Joe Bland Construction, L.P.
“I estimate that our labor savings from automating this one manual process
of project data entry and approval is in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $13,000
annually at our current business level.”
Kyle Riddle, MIS Accountant
J.F. Brennan Company, Inc.
“Computer Guidance Corporation applications will greatly help staff and managers
access the information they need to review margins and manage costs.”
Tori Weissenberger, Controller

outside electronic methods.”
Janie Moore, System Administrator
EE Cruz

HR, accounts payable/receivable, general ledger, job cost and imaging.”

of detail across our operational functions. Project managers, estimators and the
management team have an absolutely accurate view of where we are, where we
have been and where we are going — which is what construction management is
about. The system delivers the data that enables us to manage the business. I can’t
imagine running Parsons without it”
Jeff Moryn, Chief Information Officer, Parsons Electric

eCMS has had on our bottom line.”
Tom Margio, Controller, Tri-City Electric

year we noticed a dramatic improvement in the time it took to process W2's using
eCMS and eForms. Generating W2's is a process that used to take several days to
finish. With eCMS we cut it down to a fraction of the time.”
W. Todd McCane, CEO, The Young Group
