Timewatch CEO Graeme Wright’s expert opinion was sought on workplace collaboration and the benefits of Office 2016 over Google. Wright noted many Timewatch customers had switched from Office to Google for workplace apps but the arrival of Office 2016 may reverse that trend.
For Sphere, Timewatch’s ability to accurately track costs on projects sealed the deal. “We have people working all over western Canada and submitting timesheets was a challenge,” explained Dan Chartier. “With Timewatch, we now have the ability to know who has and has not submitted a timesheet.”
Timewatch has provided bi-directional synchronization between our resource scheduling solutions and Outlook for many years. Recently we’ve been receiving more and more requests for the same level of synchronization with Google Calendar. We are excited to announce that development on a Google Calendar scheduling service is currently under way.
Thanks to our customers for the suggestion!
We are now looking for customers that would be interested in assisting our product research to make sure we develop a service that meets customer needs.

You’ve probably read that Microsoft will be releasing Windows 10 on July 29 this year. This release of Windows will be deployed via Windows Automatic Update.
If you intend to upgrade to Windows 10, you need to make sure you are on CentralTime / Wallchart Version 11, as earlier versions do not support Windows 10.
Additionally, there are other upgrade options available to customers, including the same 100% browser based system from our Cloud division, which is now available for installation on your servers, supports all browsers and all devices including iPhones, Android and Windows & Tablets. There is even an Outlook add-on available that turns users Outlook appointments into Timesheets.
As Windows 10 is being deployed via Windows Update, some customers may be forced to upgrade to Version 11 to support their users, and if this happens, delays may result from high support volume from July 29th. Please be aware that we will be assisting customer requests to upgrade to Version 11 in the order they are received, so to avoid delays and downtime, we recommend you plan your upgrade to Version 11 or one of the other upgrade options as soon as possible.
Timewatch timesheet and invoicing services now sync with Sage50 accounting software to make running your business even easier.
Timewatch users will also soon see synchronization with a range of other compatible services including Quickbooks and MYOB for small businesses and Dynamics and Sage 100 and 200 for medium level businesses.
We encourage enterprise-level customers like SAP and Oracle to use our own API to develop and customize interfaces that suit their needs.
“In the ‘off the shelf’ market we wanted to develop a framework that could be expanded to support all major financial systems,” says Timewatch CEO Graeme Wright.
“We chose Sage Line 50 as a starting point as it supports interfacing timesheet and invoices, has an API, and they provide good support to developers.”
Timewatch now has the underlying technology to link its products with almost any other service.
“Our system is simple to setup, tells users what to do if they need assistance and then they have to click just one button,” said Wright.
Major technology upgrade
This original story is now out of date as CentralTime® for Windows Version 11 is now end of life and no longer available.
We still provide end of life support to existing customers, but recommend customers using CentralTime® upgrade to either Time&Space® or Time®&Money.
With CentralTime® Version 11, we’ve replaced the WebTime® timesheet system with the same advanced timesheet that our cloud customers have, but installed on your network. Additionally, the technology upgrade means that customers have access to many other great features previously onl available to cloud customers, including:
- Support for other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari
- Support for Windows 10
- New Expenses entry
- Mobile and Tablet timesheet & expenses
- Outlook Timesheet entry
