Swerdlove Becomes Exclusive Smart Time Partner for Australian Market
Los Gatos , CA and Sydney, Australia – August 19, 2009 – Smart WebParts (SWP) has granted IT consulting firm Swerdlove exclusive rights to sell Smart Time in Australia. Web-based Smart Time is a new on-demand time capture and entry application which will be officially released worldwide on September 15, 2009. Both SWP and Swerdlove will be attending the ILTA Conference the week of August 24 th in the Washington, DC area.
Smart Time is ideal for professionals such as lawyers, accountants and consultants that bill hourly. The web-based software provides timekeepers with a detailed report of their daily work activities, answering the question: “What did I do today and is it billable?”
By searching across various network applications which a timekeeper uses throughout an average day, such as Microsoft Exchange, document management systems, VoIP phone systems, and Blackberry Enterprise Servers, Smart Time captures, consolidates and reports on time spent. Then, a journal of time spent is sent to the timekeepers to allow them to assign project or matter codes to time entries, and to export the transaction to the accounting system.
Smart Time simplifies the time-note construction process; finding missed or leaked time that may not otherwise get billed. The system actually increases a firm's bill able hours and increases profitability, rapidly yielding a total return-on-investment (ROI).
According to Todd Gerstein, Co-founder and Principal of SWP, “Swerdlove is a well-regarded leader in Australia, and they are an extraordinary technology resource for the country's professional service firms. We are proud to have them on board as our exclusive Smart Time reseller for Australia and expect great mutual success to result from this partnership.”
Swerdlove Director Derek Giles explains, "Swerdlove is excited about our partnership with Smart WebParts and Smart Time represents a significant step forward in time capture at a reasonable price. ILTA represents a great opportunity for both our organizations to showcase our innovative and cost effective applications.”
