    Time t racking tools Despite budget restraints, modern, practical employee timesheet software and time

    tracking tools must be incorporated in work environments to gain knowledge and achieveimproved resource performance. Online timesheet software such as TIMELIVETimesheet allows automatic data classification and analysis to be used for improved time

    management and productivity practices. Ways in which a company may seek to reduce or avoid different types of costs when

    implementing a new system is also important in the calculation of the ROI.

    Most project time management and expense gathering applications require a great deal of initial setup, maintenance and training. Even in a small company, it is often recommended

    that a period of 3 days or more be set aside for installation, deployment and training. In thecase where an Excel timesheet template is used, additional time is required to properly format the excel timesheet, develop the training material and continually update theinformation. In larger organizations, several files are required to keep the process simplehowever; consolidating the information across multiple departments and locations is labor-intensive.

    TIMELIVE online timesheet software provides easy deployment because of the quick installat the server location only. Population of the database can easily be migrated from existingsystems using the import function or integration. It can be used, for example, to quickly bring HR, project management, and other data into TIMELIVE online time trackingsoftware.
