Our Sage 300 CRE certified consultants and systems/programming engineers are available to assist in the following disciplines:
Accounting
Companies in the building industry succeed in carrying out projects on time and on budget. Accounting is the backbone of which Dataworks can supports your growth.
Our collective experience in augmenting your staff with a skill set in essential areas as:
- Month end closing procedures and reconciliation.
- Certified Payroll
- Insurance compliance
- Lien processing
- WIP Reporting
- Financial Reporting
Do you believe that 80 percent of the users use 20% of the software or that 80% of your companies application software needs is satisfied 20 % of the software.
Our position is a bit of both. Coupled with the ‘human element’, companies tend to stick with what they know and develop elaborate work arounds to get what they need.
At Dataworks we can assist in evaluating your current business process and utilization to determine how best to maximize your use of the software.
Policies and Procedures Review/Check-up
By having someone from the outside looking in can yield valuable insight into how both your accounting and operations are working.
We can perform a survey of selected processes and identify and recommend areas of improvement and best practices. In some cases it could be as simple as to document the existing workflow procedures.
Report Writing
Getting data/information out of your system is where the value of your system comes into play. We have various methods tools that can help you achieve this.
Out of box applications: Financial Designer, Inquiry/Report Designer
Third Party applications: Crystal, Microsoft SQL Server Report Services (SSRS)
Excel – Event 1 Excel based reporting

One key getting this information is to have it in the system, back to the 80-20 rule. The rule of thumb is that if the data is in the system you can report on.
What we need to be sure of is that what is in the system is good data. Hence the term GIGO.
