Dean CFO. “eCMS aggregates massive amounts of critical business data in real time using customizable formats to meet internal, customer, project, and regulatory reporting requirements.”
M.C. Dean implemented eCMS for its reliable, scalable and flexible ERP platform to optimize delivery of diverse and complex projects.

In addition, M.C. Dean selected a hosted solution to eliminate hardware and infrastructure costs, as well as provide integrated backup and disaster recovery capabilities. Moreover, the enhanced system and partnership allow the organization to transfer the knowledge and custom coding built over the past two decades into the cloud.

Austin Engineering Company Embraces Digital Transformation
Austin Engineering Company Embraces Digital Transformation and Says Goodbye to Paper Documents and Processes
With no document imaging solution in place, Austin Engineering was handling all business-critical documents manually on paper. The AP invoice process was not only time-consuming but, also resulted in errors, duplication of effort, manual tasks, and certain delays.
In addition to an antiquated invoicing workflow, labor information was collected manually from the field and entered by hand into eCMS for processing.
Further, the firm manually managed more than 122 pieces of equipment, including corresponding usage information, repair costs, depreciation, and job costing.
Evaluating Austin Engineering’s business processes quickly demonstrated that the firm needed to implement a construction software platform that could automate its business operations workflows, house its integrated project, employee and company data, and manage and distribute the firm’s information in real time and on demand.
Austin Engineering implemented eCMS v.4.1 and deployed several additional applications to its core accounting to bring new automation and enhanced fact-based decision-making, as well as standardization and basic innovation to the company.
