SI International Achieves Cost Savings and Streamlined Time Processing with Unanet
Fairfax, VA Unanet Technologies, the leader in Web-Based Workforce Optimization and PSA software solutions announced that SI International, a privately held information technology (IT) and telecommunications infrastructure company, headquartered in Northern Virginia, has completed the first phase of deployment of Unanet's Web-Based Time and Project Reporting system to its global workforce. Unanet's simplicity and range of time collection options - Web, phone, and PDA - and support of the Defense Contractor Audit Agency (DCAA) rules sold SI International on the Unanet product suite.
Commenting on the choice of Unanet, Steve Hunt, VP and CIO at SI International, said, "Unanet offered the best overall fit for our time reporting needs, including the interface with CostPoint, telephone entry for employees working at remote or secure government sites, and DCAA compliance. Within two months after deployment to over 675 employees, Unanet has eliminated over 30 hours of manual timesheet entry / correction and all weekend or overtime work in payroll. We estimate the hard cost savings to exceed $50,000 a year by the end of 2002. Moreover, real-time project reporting has given our project managers a proactive tool to better manage and execute contracts."
Donna Kilbourn, Vice President of Business Development, welcomed SI International to the Unanet customer community. "We are delighted to count SI International among our prestigious customers and know that Unanet's immediate and measurable cost savings to-date at SI International will continue to accrue for years." Ms. Kilbourn added, "As a premier professional services firm in the government contracting arena, SI International has implemented Unanet as a strategic PSA solution that hands its employees and consultants the tools to enhance core revenue-producing activities and minimize time spent on administrative tasks."
