One of the major challenges affecting project-based organizations is ensuring their resources are managed effectively. Inefficient resource management can lead to over-budgeting, under-utilization, and missed deadlines and deliverables for the organization and external clients. While project-based organizations and internal IT operations can leverage cloud computing and mobile applications to improve their responsiveness as well as manage their on-going projects and deliverables, disorganized resource management can quickly derail the effort. WSG Systems Corporation, a New York-based firm specializing in the design and development of resource management and project accounting solutions, incorporates the latest technologies to provide resource management and scheduling solutions to project-based organizations such as consulting, finance, HR, and internal IT operations.

“Our goal is to help project-based organizations improve their productivity and project performance through better scheduling and rationalized resource management,” begins William Cornfield, President, WSG Systems Corporation.

WSG Systems’ flagship Empire SUITE product streamlines operations and simplifies tasks for project-based organizations. The seamlessly integrated application suite provides a powerful and flexible solution for project-based organizations ranging from small IT consulting concerns to larger firms with complex multiple location, multi-currency and software capitalization requirements. The Empire SUITE applications – Empire TIME, Empire TIME OFF, Empire MOBILE, Empire CALENDAR, and Empire RESOURCE – help project-based organizations manage their projects from inception to completion. Time and expense capture using Empire TIME, Empire MOBILE or Empire CALENDAR is efficient and painless. Empire CALENDAR, WSG’s Microsoft Outlook plug-in, provides two-way integration with Empire RESOURCE and Empire TIME. Microsoft Outlook meeting and appointment details–for all meeting and appointment participants–can be uploaded to the time sheet and downloaded into Empire RESOURCE so everyone is in sync and up-to-date.

Empire RESOURCE gives managers and schedulers a powerful tool kit to match the firm’s resources with the right activities on the right project.
