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 timesheet 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 timesheet 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 timesheets package (after having given you a chance to review and use the product).

Do I need to install the timesheet software myself?
No. Aestiva will walk you or your server admin through the installation process. Or you can use Aestiva Timesheets install instructions.

Can I install it myself?
