U.S. COST Releases Success Enterprise 2007
Powerful Performance and Superior Functionality Drive
New Era of EnterpriseWide, Web-based Estimating & Cost Management Software
Atlanta, Georgia, USA -- April 9, 2007 -- U.S. COST, a leading provider of estimating and cost management software, announced the release of U.S. COST Success Enterprise 2007, a multi-user, web-based system that allows organizations to manage their entire estimating and cost management practice from any Internet connected computer, anywhere in the world.
Typically hosted internally and deployed via a customer's intranet, Success Enterprise 2007 provides real time estimating development, collaboration and analysis to all project stakeholders by using a centralized SQL Server database. The environment allows unparalleled data management and estimate warehousing for thousands of projects across an enterprise. Not only does it increase the ability to collaborate within the estimating group itself, it also facilitates better communication to other groups within a company as well as with that company's clients.
Steve Williams, Vice-President of Software at U.S. COST, said, "This is a very exciting release, one that will support and enhance business processes in companies of all sizes. This product allows the estimating process to be a truly shared activity across multiple disciplines, without concern for geographic barriers. Now regional, national and international companies can make use of the most up-to-date estimate and cost data information."
Another important benefit of Success Enterprise 2007 is the fact that it has zero client footprint, meaning nothing must be installed on an individual user's machine, thus lowering the cost of internal support as well as ensuring version control throughout the organization.
Williams adds, "Companies spend huge amounts of time and money distributing, installing and monitoring traditional desktop applications. With a program such as Success Enterprise, all of those issues really go away. Everything is installed and managed from a single location within the company's firewall."
Upgraded to the latest Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework, Success Enterprise 2007 includes a number of new features to drive productivity and efficiency on projects throughout a company. These include reusable Assembly Definitions, a powerful file and note Attachment feature, and even greater customization capabilities.
Williams says, "All in all, the entire feature set is comparable to the power, functionality and performance of a desktop solution - and yet, it's available anytime, anywhere in a secure web-based environment. Success Enterprise 2007 is designed to work with the speed and flexibility of today's businesses."
