5.0

Cecilia T.: Hi, I'm Cecilia. I'm a financial administrator, and I give BQE Core Suite a five out of five rating. For more ratings like this, click below. We use it for maintaining costs and in invoicing our clients for the projects as they progress. We do it on a monthly basis, and it's very easy to maintain the accounts for the clients, make sure everything's up to date, and record all the payments. I like BQE because you can really customize pretty much projects, employees, all activities, the way you invoice. You can customize pretty much each process throughout the business cycle to your company's needs. You can filter and create groups and lists to meet the company's needs specifically for you. I work with architectural people who are very visual, and I think they use colors a lot and are very less wordy and more visual, I guess, is the big thing. We find Core sometimes all the screens look exactly the same, so they have to read it. And it's hard for them to say, "Okay, this is a budget screen. This is a fee schedule screen," because they all look the same. They're like blank slates. It would be great if all the budget screens were in one color and all the fee schedule screens were in another color so they know when they're keying something in at what point of the system they're in. Are they in projects? Are they in budgets? Are they in time entries? Green for time entries, yellow for budgets. That would really make, I think, just click in quicker for them. It takes longer for them to read every single screen.
