What People Are Saying!

"The program is serving us well due to both the quality of your work and your responsiveness to the various customizations we have made to the program. WTE will be a key part of our back office systems for the foreseeable future. I look forward to our continued work together."

"During testing and verification, we couldn't be more pleased with the software. It is stable, easy to tailor to meet our needs and rock solid. After extensive testing, not one data element was incorrect when we compared the output from the old and new systems."

"This program (Web Time Entry) is great for freelancers of any kind, as it allows you the ability to track your time on different projects and create invoices for the clients you link with the projects. If you freelance, you need this program so that you don't lose your valuable minutes and end up making less than you should."

"Without a doubt, this is one the most valuable open source programs available for the I.T. professional.. The program itself is easy to use and intuitive, and that coupled with fantastic support, makes it ( jOpen IT ) a must have for any I.T. shop”

"Free Software or 'software libre' is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things. Since free software may be freely redistributed it is generally available at little or no cost. Free software business models are usually based on adding value such as applications, support, training, customization, integration, or certification."
