Solving Unique Problems
Almost a year following the initial implementation, O'Meara Ferguson employees are well rooted in the HyperOffice environment. In fact, HyperOffice has become almost a technical consultant for O'Meara Ferguson. In a unique scenario in September 2009, O'Meara Ferguson needed a temporary solution to receive documents and collaborate with a group of 600 clients over the course of two months. HyperOffice was there to help. Sean was able to work with his account representative to tailor a license specific to this scenario and within the requested budget. The set-up and implementation of this temporarily client extranet was facilitated by HyperOffice by allowing for a one-time import of users and an export of users at the end of the two month period. This made a unique and potentially troublesome requirement a breeze.

O'Meara Ferguson has big plans for growth over the next few years and anticipates using HyperOffice as a means to drive this growth by further adapting the evolving HyperOffice products to meet their evolving needs.

The UNFCU uses HyperOffice to manage internal operations and projects using the document repository with version control with the integrated project management tool. HyperOffice has influenced internal operations and helped this organization maintain a low overhead, so that they are able to pass the value down to the UN employees it serves.

With the added functions of HyperOffice, the engineering and finance departments are able to collaborate much more efficiently on documents. The finance department can share and work together on income statements, invoices, and have access to bank statements. Meanwhile, the engineering department can collaborate on design files, reports, spreadsheets with timelines, project outlines, etc. Being a technology company, implementation went smoothly. The users were very capable of figuring out the system which allowed for a smooth transition.

Actualize began looking into different options. It all came down to finding an external solution or having an internal server. The problem with an internal server was they would have to have IT personnel maintaining the servers and make sure everything is running smoothly, which was the deciding factor for Actualize to choose with HyperOffice. Now the company is able to use HyperOffice for “knowledge sharing across the firm” according to Director of Operations, Kerry Elam. Actualize Consulting has noticed great improvement in organization and time management within the firm.

After rigorous online research, Premier Citizens Financial found HyperOffice and began implementing the system right away. Through HyperOffice, associates are able to shared documents, calendars, and manage tasks without having to make sure everybody is up to speed with information. According to Managing Director, Dean Konstantine, this new form of information sharing allows for “ease of connectivity”.
