MARK LITTLE, from page 9

You can easily import your employees and your clients during the setup process of ProjectBoss. Once connected, you can easily create invoices in ProjectBoss (with support for hourly or fixed fee tasks) and export them immediately to QuickBooks online. As a result, your accounting team will save valuable time. We are currently working on an exciting integration with Slack, which will automatically create communication channels for each project in ProjectBoss. Users will be able to communicate with their project team in real time, including the ability to share their screens with other project members as well as the ability to initiate video calls between everyone on the team. The Hubspot report concludes by asking the following questions about a software solution. Remember, the goal is to reduce technological complexity by using a solution that reduces the need for multiple technologies. ❚ ❚ Does it integrate? ❚ ❚ Does it have an open API? ❚ ❚ Is it built for speed? ❚ ❚ Does it fill a gap? Or is it duplicative? ❚ ❚ Does it aid collaboration? Or hinder it? ❚ ❚ Is it helpful? I believe ProjectBoss can answer every one of these questions with an emphatic “yes.” If you believe your firm could benefit by drastically reducing the number of tools it currently uses, I’d like to hear from you. MARK LITTLE has nearly 20 years of experience in the technology arena, primarily as a software engineer. Prior to becoming a co- founder and chief technology officer of ProjectBoss, Mark worked on key projects at companies such as JPMorganChase, Oracle, and ThermoFisher Scientific. He can be reached at mark@projectboss.net.

three-location A/E firm, ProjectBoss understands the unique challenges of the industry. According to the Hubspot report: “Despite reporting a fairly modest number of tools in their repertoire, our respondents indicate they lose a sizeable chunk of time dealing with their tools. Eighty-two percent of respondents indicated that they lost up to an hour a day because they had to log in to, and manage, many different systems. “According to a 2016 research report by Hubspot, the average small to medium sized business uses 13 different tools to manage their businesses. Additionally, most of the respondents say one to five of the tools they use have redundant capabilities.” “That’s a sizeable chunk of time – up to five hours a week spent just on managing technology. The time lost is probably a clearer reflection of the true cost of using tools: Energy is wasted by salespeople or marketers using multiple technologies designed to make them more efficient. This is all time spent away from completing core tasks that will directly drive the bottom line, whether it’s closing more deals or converting leads into customers.” ProjectBoss has developed a series of integrations to help leverage the tools you already use. For example, we have developed a two-way integration with QuickBooks online.
