Why eCMS Cloud Construction ERP for Byrne & Jones Construction

by

Byrne & Jones was utilizing a legacy system for its accounting that lacked key functionality and modern technology, as well as scalability, reliability, and dynamic deployment options.

 

The contractor was looking for an integrated approach to both the financial activities of the office team and the field operations of job site personnel. The former accounting system did not allow access from the field, preventing project managers from viewing job-related information and managing activities in an efficient or digital manner. And, the accounting team needed company-wide visibility into all entity and department performance as well as reporting on all variables.

 

Byrne & Jones selected Computer Guidance Corporation’s eCMS platform due to its ability to connect the field and office with on-demand data and integrated workflows over a single platform with easy yet secure web-based access.

 

“We selected eCMS for its reputation as the most complete, proven and intelligent ERP system available in the market today, but even that sometimes isn’t enough,” said Rick Hull, Chief Financial Officer, Byrne & Jones. “I’ve had significant experience with ERP implementations in the past and after meeting the CGC team, I had 100% confidence in their ability to not only seamlessly guide us through this process but also ensure our expectations were exceeded.”
