How long does it take to get installed?
Rush delivery/setup can be as short as two days, including installation and setup of your first set of users. More often, setup is two to four weeks.

Aestiva's standard time sheet customization process is done in three stages; First we review with you your feature and design needs and create a first version of your custom time tracking software package. This usually takes one week. Then Aestiva trains your staff using a series of setup and training meetings (conducted over the phone). Finally, we complete a final round of design changes to the time sheets package (after having given you a chance to review and use the product).

Can I install it myself?

The result -- the highest levels of quality, performance, customization, and reliability -- delivered to you fast.
