IMCO Construction |
 |
IMCO Construction is a big shot construction company located in Bellingham, Washington, and has been in business since 1978. The company does about $40 million worth of contracts each year, and has 250 employees working for them, so it's safe to say they have some credibility. |

 |
The Challenge |
With such a large amount of projects to supervise and manage, the field operators, contractors, clients, and architects needed more than just an email system – they need a project management tool. IMCO needed a central area where calendars, contracts, images, and specs could be shared and distributed. |
|
The Solution |
When looking for a project management solution, IMCO had a few options. However, according to Jason Kelley, the IT Manager, you "can't pack that many features and expect it to work well", which is why the company decided to go with HyperOffice. IMCO works great with HyperOffice now as it is "simple to use, doesn't require a lot of training, and nobody needs to know FTP programming". |

Fidelity Wes Construction |
 |
Fidelity Wes Builders is a custom home construction company in Illinois. In business since 1992, Fidelity Wes Builders has had quite a long time to try out different collaboration methods and figure out what works best for them. As a custom home builder, the company has to be on the same page as the owner and architect. |
|
|
The Challenge |
Before HyperOffice, Fidelity Wes Builders had tried using MS Exchange and Server but found it to be too pricey. Between making sure the servers were up and running, maintenance, and keeping up with the costs, MS Exchange was just not an efficient solution. Fidelity Wes began research through Yahoo and came across HyperOffice. |
|
The Solution |
Now that Fidelity Wes has switched over to HyperOffice, they are able to coordinate more effectively with projects. They use different groups for different projects and within each group they have their own space for information on inspections and closings. The biggest advantage for Fidelity Wes is they don't have to "have any inner IT personnel dealing with servers". With the field superintendents at the site location and other project members at the office, the web-based feature has "worked flawlessly" for the company. |
