According to Chris Vandersluis, complex organizations do not break down because of strategy; they fracture because of small, unresolved operational gaps. Few are more persistent than the way time is captured, validated, and translated across departments that each answer to different rules. At the center of that problem sits HMS Software, Vandersluis' Montreal-based firm founded in 1984 that has spent more than four decades building a single, auditable foundation for how enterprises account for time.
HMS is the publisher of TimeControl, a multi-purpose, financially auditable timesheet designed for organizations where time touches everything. Project management, payroll, finance, billing, human resources, regulatory compliance, and tax reporting all draw from the same source. According to Vandersluis, TimeControl was formally launched as a product in 1994, when HMS shifted from being a distributor and consultancy into a software publisher.
