Overall Satisfaction with CMiC Construction Platform

We utilize CMiC across the organization. Everyone uses it in some capacity. We utilize it for timekeeping, project management, AP, payroll, etc.
  • The reporting tools are great
  • Customizable
  • Some functionality could be improved
  • It's not that intuitive.
  • Lots of time spent learning, testing, meeting with consultants - negative
  • All parts of the business are now run in-house - positive
  • Workflow has improved
All employees were asked for feedback when reviewing software. Ultimately, we chose CMiC because we felt it supported the admin side and the field side.
It's been a difficult road, and we still don't have all the answers. When doing things like payroll, we need help immediately, not "within 24 hours". We've also been advised to do certain functions one way, and then told that is incorrect and we should be doing it another way. Very frustrating.

Do you think CMiC Construction Platform delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Yes

Did CMiC Construction Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of CMiC Construction Platform go as expected?

No

Would you buy CMiC Construction Platform again?

No

It's hard to find a software that works for all departments. However, I think, over time, CMiC is working for us. It's been a long road, but I feel like we are finally reaping the benefits of switching to CMiC Construction Platform.
