"eCMS Accounting"

5/5

What do you like best about Computer Guidance Corp?

Coming from the accounting side of the business I have to say payroll is what I like best about the ERP. We are an union contractor and eCMS can handle the processing of multiple unions along with the weekly/monthly reporting requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Computer Guidance Corp?

eCMS at times is not always the most intuitive software. However, the support staff at CGC is always able to walk me through a problem and provide me with the best solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Computer Guidance Corp solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our current document management program is being sunsetted. We are currently working with CGC to create various document repositories within their Content Management module to house all of our confidential documents. Their staff have been very helpful with the creation and set up of this. Not to mention we can now eliminate a software subscription because eCMS has the functionality built in.

"WC CGC Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Computer Guidance Corp?

The online resolution library, test environment capabilities, and the quick resolutions received when requesting assistance from the Computer Guidance support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Computer Guidance Corp?

I would like to see notifications when updates are released, listing changes that occurred. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Computer Guidance Corp:

I would always recommend test driving the application you are interested in before purchasing to make the best-informed decision you can. Include a situation where you would need to contact the support team at CGS to ensure you are comfortable with their response and guidance. Look at all aspects of the application, from how you would utilize it at present and what you may need from it in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Computer Guidance Corp solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a "pilot" company for CGS, we are always looking for the best and most efficient way to track the information we need from different applications. Working with CGC to help enhance the product we utilize, eCMS, helps us with the day-to-day operations and our ability to evolve as the industry develops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like field lengths to be increased in some areas but it doesn't impact the usefulness of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very user friendly and easy to use."

5/5

What do you like best about Computer Guidance Corp?

A few of the most helpful things about Computer Guidance Corp. would be the ability to generate different reports from several different aspects in the system, the ability to problem solve by tracking items down easily. No matter where you key in your data, there is always a way to trace it back to see where it originated from. The ability to track Submittal due dates with reports and the CGC response time when an issue arises with the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Computer Guidance Corp?

The only downside to Computer Guidance Corp. would be the outdated portion of keying a Purchase Order Change Order. Navigating through that portion and editing a Purchase Order Change Order, within CGC, is not as user friendly as keying a Request for Proposal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Computer Guidance Corp:

This software provides many interconnected applications that allow you to run your business without a lot of 3rd party apps. Overall good support.

"eCMS by Computer Guidance Delivers"

5/5

What do you like best about Computer Guidance Corp?

Each module within eCMS is very seamless and intuitive to use. Menus are organized and laid out logically. Two of the stronger aspects of the software, that I especially like, are the data import suite and a newer re-imagined Content Management module that has been instrumental in our efforts to become a paperless office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Computer Guidance Corp?

I am a longtime user of eCMS, and I can say that back in the day, when it was time to apply a patch, fix-pack, version update, or similar - something would inevitably "break" or become disabled as a result of that type of load. However, I believe the Computer Guidance has put a heavy emphasis on quality assurance in the last few years, and these types of incidents rarely occur anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Computer Guidance Corp solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned above, the Content Management module has been a pretty big game changer for us. In fact, we were offered the opportunity to become one of the first beta customers for this newer platform, affording us the ability to weigh in on developmental ideas and concerns before being rolled out to the masses. This product has not only created a stable paperless repository for company documents, but we've experienced a high degree of increased productivity as a result of it.
