Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using the Finance and Field packages. The entire company uses CMiC. I'm not really involved in the bigger picture...I use mainly the Finance package.

Pros and Cons

I love the links between POs, Invoices, PCIs, Billing, etc.
It's good that changes are done in real-time and can be viewed by others immediately.
Queries can be moved to Excel.

The speed could be improved.
There is no report to show outstanding balances from our vendors--a comparison between AP and the PO.
Until invoices are posted in AP, the amounts of the invoices do not show as part of the % spent on a PO.
You should be able to run a report from Finance that would show invoices from Imaging and Finance that have not been entered or posted.

Alternatives Considered

I have used Jonas but only a portion of it. You could see all subcontractor invoices and their POs on the same page.

They generally don't figure out the issue. We have many outstanding tickets. I have been kicked out of CMiC in the middle of posting invoices and invoices have been "lost." When this happened (several times), support took too long to resolve so we had to enter the invoices through AP, which causes many problems.

Likelihood to Recommend

The nice part of using CMiC Construction Platform is that the PCIs are approved, confirmed, and posted for the Project Manager and client. The downside of this is if errors are found later, they can't be corrected easily. There are a few reports that I like, for example, job transaction report, job status report, job costing report. You create a subcontractor change order without using PCI, the issue is, it can't be billed properly.
