Low-Budget Network-Based Time Tracking Software?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday February 6, 2002 @02:59AM from the punch-cards-over-TCP/IP dept.

0verkill asks: "I have been charged with the task of finding time tracking software to replace our current manual punch card method of tracking our employees time spent on the job. I would appreciate any feeedback/suggestions from anyone who has experience implementing and/or maintaing this software. Here are the criteria that I'm working with currently: I have a spending range of up to $400-$500; the software should support clocking in/out from more than one network attached workstation; basic report generation -- nothing too fancy but something that covers all the basics; and finally something that is resistant to time tampering (maybe software that could obtain an official time from our servers)."

Sub-Contract the Development for it by mindhaze · 2002-02-06 04:29 · Score: 2, Insightful

Why not subscontract the development work, and then release the source as GPL. I'm sure there'd be at least a few people that would add patches etc to it!

Google and Freshmeat searches can tell you what exists *if* people describe their software with descriptive terms. The search *won't* tell you if its any good.

Ask Slashdot is a chance to ask a relatively informed population for their advice and experience related to a topic. I think that's exactly what Ask Slashdot is for. Sure, they could ask in other forums like a newsgroup but people go with what they know.
