TIME MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Groupe AGI, enterprise efficiency optimization experts, is launching
Abak 6, an effortless time management software that allows companies
in the services industry to make every minute count.

Abak's time management software is project-based which means that you can invoice by project, by project phase, by client. You can generate batch
invoices and schedule invoices in advance. The project-based principle
means that you'll be able to track costs and benefits per project and
assign only the necessary resources by project.

For each review, we set up the time management software, walked through the company, staff and client set-up screens and entered time
information. We also printed reports and invoices. We looked for ease
of set-up, and features for time and expense entry, reports and
accounts receivable.

Abak integrates with Crystal Reports for creation of specific,
custom-designed reports and comes with more than 100 pre-designed
templates for work in progress, AR and time management software functions.

The program has import/export capabilities with several accounting and
contact management programs, including ACCPAC, Avantage, Virtuo,
Fortune 1000 Acomba and Quickbooks, as well as most programs that allow output into comma-, tab- or space-delimited files. The software also
integrates seamlessly with MS Project, and functions very well as a
stand-alone application. The program has a very well-designed Help
function that has been thoroughly indexed, and the company provides
some documentation online, including a help desk and a FAQ section.
Registered users are provided with passwords to access user-only
support areas. The company also provides training.

Abak's screens are nicely laid out and easy to use. The time management
software provides an excellent array of reports, invoices and
formatting options. The vendor reports that, in the upcoming version6,
it has improved the Time and Expense input screens to make it easier to
enter information, and has made it possible to view time and expense
information on the same screen.
