From time to time we who produce the Journyx Journal like to heap praise on a partner or vendor whose work we really believe in. And today is one of those times. So without further ado, we’d like to introduce you to our friends at TESTCo, purveyors of high-quality, dependable On-Demand Software Testing.

At Journyx, we sometimes find ourselves in need of more software testers than we have. When those times come, we turn to TESTCo. In the four years we’ve been working with them we’ve been able to deliver quality and value to our customers faster than even we thought possible thanks to their able assistance.

John Maddalozzo, our VP of Engineering put it best when he said, “We simply could not afford this level of Software Quality Assurance if we did it all in house. TESTCo’s On-Demand Software Testing gives us trained, experienced and locally managed software testing engineers with as little as 24 hours notice and no more than a 5 day commitment. We can’t get that anywhere else.”

Now, in the face of what we euphemistically refer to as “a sluggish economy,” the good folks at TESTCo are offering Journyx Journal readers a 50% discount on their first week of On-Demand Software Testing services.

So if you find yourself in a situation where you need more software testers than you have, give TESTCo a look. Their On-Demand Software Testing may be just what you need to meet your project goals and deadlines.

To take advantage of this special offer for Journyx Journal readers, drop TESTCo’s CEO and Founder, Jeff Hotz, an line at jeff@testco.com. The pros at TESTCO will get back to you in a flash to get you the help that you need. Oh, and please be sure to let Jeff know that you heard about TESTCo here in the Journyx Journal. Mutual back-scratching makes the world go ’round, after all.

Journyx – the leader in web-based time and expense solutions for project management, payroll, and invoice automation – today announced that Cognitive Technologies, Inc., a provider of high-performance project services, has selected Journyx Timesheet™ as a key component of its new Project Time Management (PTM) solution. PTM gives companies the tools, configurations, templates and processes needed to ensure that time tracking information flows easily and accurately between Microsoft Project® and the rest of the organization.

“Our customers needed to track both project and non-project related time. Many were resorting to double-entry, entering project time in Microsoft Project and non-project time in another system,” said Bruce McGraw, Senior Vice President of Cognitive Technologies. “This was not only inefficient; it was also a business risk – especially if the company had to pass any audits from DCAA, Sarbanes-Oxley or other requirements. They needed a way to enter time in one place and have the time data show up accurately wherever it was needed. We created PTM to solve that problem.”

PTM leverages the Journyx Projectlink™ integration between Journyx Timesheet and Microsoft Project. Journyx Timesheet, the leading web-based time and expense tracking solution, is used by companies worldwide to gather and analyze time data for maximizing profitability. Through Projectlink, Timesheet can synchronize project time data with Project Server, ensuring that time spent on project work is accurately represented for project management.

Time tracking is a critical process, since many companies track time both inside and outside of project work. Their time records are often audited, so they need to ensure both timeliness and accuracy of their project and non-project labor costs. We turned to Journyx, because their technology integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Project.”
