6. Check out BillQuick Help. Step through the short BillQuick Tutorial. Ask: Will BillQuick serve my firm today and as we evolve in the years ahead?

7. Talk to BillQuick Support. Ask questions. Gauge their quality, attitude and more.

8. Consider the price and the overall investment. BillQuick reduces your investment with FREE DATA CONVERSION (see below).

9. Make a decision.

10. Implement BillQuick.

Free Data Conversion

BQE Software knocks down the key barrier to change -- Conversion Cost. Manually re-entering data into a new solution can take from 5 to 14 days of non-billable time, incurring direct costs of $1,000 to $8,000 (or more). Indirect costs drive your investment higher. But as a user of Timeslips, Wind2, Unilink and CPAS software - a professional with the greatest concerns about your firm's future with this software, you eliminate direct and other costs with FREE DATA CONVERSION from their old software to BillQuick. We save you at least $1,000 on conversion.

Bottom Line: Spend 90 minutes, then decide.

For companies utilizing another software package or in-house solution, BQE Software offers other electronic conversion options. Even a partial electronic data conversion saves hundreds to thousands of dollars. Here are a few options:

1. Direct transfer from QuickBooks, Microsoft Small Business Accounting, Peachtree and MYOB Australia accounting software.

2. BillQuick's Import/Export utility for comma- or tab-delimited ASCII format (or converted from Excel .XLS format).

3. Data conversion services. We will work with you to determine what data can be converted and the best method.

Project Control is only available in the BillQuick Pro and Enterprise Editions.

Project Control gives you the ability to assign employees/subconsultants and/or activities and expenses to specific projects. Only assigned employees and subconsultants can charge these  activities and expenses to the project. In fact, when entering time and expenses only the employees and subconsultants assigned to a project will see the project in drop-down lists.

Assignments restrict access to items in Time Entry, Expense Log and Timer, and flows out to time and expense functions in Web Suite and other add-on modules.

Why assign employees/subconsultants, activities and expenses to a project? The top 3 reasons are:

1. To speed up time and expense entry.

2. To ensure the most accurate information is recorded for time and expenses.

3. To limit access to confidential information.

To assign an employee to a project:

1. Select the project.

2. Click the Employee assignment radio button. This displays employees in the Available Items list. Optionally, you can choose a range of employees and an employee group, and include vendors (subconsultants) in the Available Items list.

3. Ctrl-Click to the left of each employee you want to assign to the project, then click to move them to the Assigned Items column.

4. When you click , select another project, or another item to assign, the assignment is saved.

Use these same steps to assign activities and expenses to a project.

Note: If you prefer, you can use the budget assigned to a project as the starting point for assigning employees, activities and expenses. Click to copy the assigned employees, then again if you want activities and expenses in the budget assigned to the project. You can add other items to Assigned Items lists.
