I enjoy the fact that it is no longer on a flash platform. In addition, the interface is far more cleaner and easy to navigate from area to area. The new platinum version catches up to modern interfaces that we are used to viewing.
One of the biggest struggles is when our clients submit a request that is more of a campaign request that includes 12-15 individual projects that holistically go together. If the system could allow a person to submit multiple projects under a new "campaign request" submission at the time of submission would be ideal rather then needing to submit each item individually or copying a request to multiple new projects and then cleaning out any irrelevant information. This would greatly reduce time both on the client and agency side.
We are always trying to find new ways to reduce administration burdens and build upon stronger productivity. One of the key benefits that we have found with Workamajig is that with all content for a particular project being centrally located - we are always able to reference the project ID number and pull all information on that project even if it was something we completed a few months ago. The systems data gets stronger and stronger as time goes on as long as the users continue to put "good" data into the system. This clearly has cut down on the wasted time in past cases where we were trying to track down project info through email, spreadsheets, etc.
My favorite part of Workamajig is the Project Request system. Being able to create a job directly from the Project Request, helps keep things organized. Love being able to look up old jobs and finding the history very easily.
We were having a lot of server issues, and the system was very slow. Now that we are on our own dedicated server, things move a lot quicker!
We were not able to keep good track of projects in the past. Thanks to Workamajig, we are a lot better with complete project visibility.
Multi - Company is great and cute credit card connector
Not able to run PO reports by GL company
Intercompany Bulling
I love how everything is connected and tied together in one place.
The fact that everything is customizable is helpful, until it isn't. I would prefer if everyone's display options could be the same, so everyone sees them same thing
We can now have PDFs, and comments that we in chats and emails all in Workamajig. Also, more importanlty, we can easily see if a project is profitable
Very easy to use and you can do so much!
Reports are something difficult to create
Everthing can be done on one system!!
My Company uses Workamajig as only a finance tool, but our system works great in tracking our client campaigns , projects and employee time spent to budget, as an Account Executive it helps me to manage teh budgets very well.
We use Campaigns now for billing, and have to edit projects when adjusting budgets, the only way to do that is to unapprove teh campaign estimate first. not a huge problem but extra steps
WMJ helps me as an AE manage my Clients Budgets and project spend effenciently
Wamj does pretty much everything required with an ad agency. Exception of payroll which is fine to have outside of system. Accounting is robust and project mgmt has different levels you can implement or not, depending on what you do within your agency. Support team is great; you just have to tell them the issue via email and they will get back to you. They can help you with custom reports and get you started.
Initially seemed overwhelming but videos and Bootcamp were very helpful. There is lots available but you don't necessarily need to implement.
Advising on how to clean up old history for us after 5 years of using it.
I love that it is truly all inclusive. It is project management, timekeeping, AR and AP on one platform. .
Don't like the time it takes to sync a calendar up to WMJ.
Accurate and streamlined billing makes the process very quick.
WMJ is an intuitive and detailed project management platform.
Because it has so many capabilities, it can take a bit to learn and apply. Perseverance is key!
Workflow processes.
We love the flow of tasks that can be preestablished per type of project that keeps all departments on the same page.
The older verison allowed you to have mulitple projects up at the same time and now you can only have one sliding frame at a time.
Workamajig allows anyone on the team to check the status of a project and answer client or vendor questions seamlessly.
