Chris Vandersluis
CEO, HMS Software
Who they are
Chris Vandersluis is the CEO of HMS Software, the Montreal-based publisher of TimeControl, and has been building enterprise timesheet and project-tracking solutions since founding the company in 1984. He is a recognized voice on why project-based organizations need more than a plan — they need to track effort, budget and actual spend against it.
Why we chose them
Over more than three decades, Vandersluis has shaped TimeControl into the industry's most adaptive multi-purpose timesheet system — bridging the gap between planning and tracking that leaves most organizations unable to say how much effort a feature took or how actual spend compares to budget. His work reframed the timesheet from an HR formality into a strategic instrument for finance, projects and HR alike.
