" Spectrum Enterprise Edition provides the power and integration that allow us to manage operations generating approximately $800 million dollars a year. At IES we have simplied our IT infrastructure and eliminated redundancy by consolidating 40 regional servers to a few single Enterprise servers. We are now able to close the books on all businesses across our enterprise in a significantly reduced timeframe. At the same time, Spectrum's integration gives us the needed visitbility into the consolidated financials as well as the drill-down to transactions at the branch level. IES has developed and customized an internal system called 'PMOS' (Project Management Operating System), as our standard set of management procedures and processes designed to develop, plan, manage and implement work projects to meet all key objectives. IES relies on PMOS to run our business and Spectrum is at the center of all PMOS systems while providing the foundation for our construction accounting. "

" As our company grows, Spectrum will grow too, because Dexter + Chaney will continue to develop new technology and features. Over time, our staff will be able to handle double the revenues without adding overhead. That's why I can honestly say that this technology saves Active Construction $75,000 to $100,000 a year. "
