Requirements of Consultant
Efficiency
I want to ensure that there is clarity within the company.
Records
I want all aspects of the project to be appropriately recorded, but I don’t want to pay for enormous amount of money for someone to do mere data entering. And how do I know that the records are kept to the par that can protect me later from legal threats anyway.
Budget Control
We want to have better control on the internal company budget for delivering the project. Is there any software which would track two budgets for business as well as for the project?
Effective
I do not want my managers to be occupied with too much paper work and report writing. I want easy and fast creation of reports.
Economical
I want to ensure that the team is not wasting time on my expense, that is they are using their time efficiently.
Company’s Profitability
None of these software care about or control if we are going to make money or not. All these software are primarily working for the success of the project, which has nothing to do with company’s profitability.
