Information is king in this society; however, if you don't know how to manage this information or use it to your benefit then it becomes your enemy. Usually an organization does not understand this concept until it has been engaged in a lawsuit where if they had properly managed the documents and information they would have saved a lot of money. It has been said that if this system performs one task on a project, it keeps the organization out of court. If that is all it does then it is well worth the time and effort to use it well.
However, besides the documents, managing your project costs with this tool is so much easier and more informative than an accounting system. Accounting is great to tell you history, but it has no idea about the potential of your project. Let accounting pay the bills but let PCM allow you to manage your project and provide you with the information that you need to make proper and timely decisions. Now go out and have fun with this wonderful tool!!!
