New Unanet Software Release for Government Contractors and Project Services Organizationsor The Masses

Sterling, VA (PRWEB), February 22, 2008 — Unanet Technologies, a developer of services automation software that helps organizations manage people and projects for improved profitability, has released Version 9.0 of its market leading project tracking and portfolio management solution.

The new release offers significant enhancements designed to help improve the performance of government contractors and other project-driven services organizations. Key new features include:
* calculation and reporting of direct and indirect project costs in real-time, including definition of cost elements, pools and cost structures.
* enhancements to Earned Value (EVMS) to support Federal Government reporting requirements on project cost and schedule status.
* new project portfolio management capabilities - project probability for opportunities in the pipeline can be taken into account in forecasting resource utilization and commitments as well as revenue.
* new ways to control access to billing rates and budgets to ensure that only authorized staff have access to project cost, revenue and billing data while still providing needed project status information.
* resource management enhancements to automate schedule maintenance and reducing effort in maintaining accurate time-phased resource loading data.
The new project costing functionality is particularly significant in that it provides a realtime-view of project profitability and remaining funding taking into account all direct and indirect costs, and also avoids the need of a specialized accounting system to generate such reports. Eight new reports provide authorized users with multiple, real-time views of project costs, fee and revenue.

Fran Craig, Unanet President and CEO, commented, “This new release reflects our continued commitment to innovation in delivering solutions for project services driven organizations. More than 500 customers are realizing the benefits of Unanet services automation software to reduce administrative costs and increase management insight, thereby improving profitability.”

Revolutionary Software Is Monetization Engine For The Masses

London, UK (PRWEB) February 22, 2008 — People who want to build a site and create an income on-line but don’t know how are now in luck. Happar.com will be releasing their revolutionary software product called M.E. which is an acronym for “monetization engine”. The first ever monetization engine for the masses. Anyone can now monetize themselves, their ideas or interests on the Internet in as little as 10 minutes.

“We want to help people tap into the literal river of money flowing under their noses in their Internet connection,” said Paul Coskun, creator of M.E. “We have found there are a lot of make money on-line scams out there that give you content, but what they don’t tell you is that you need to bring traffic to that content to make any money. M.E does this automatically.”

M.E Helps People Access Global Economy

One of the most powerful features of M.E is that it allows the user to translate its pages into other languages in the fly. This means that whatever the user decides to place in M.E can be accessed and bought by people in other countries and exponentially increases traffic to their site as well. This is especially helpful for Americans who are burdened with the declining dollar and need to appeal to other countries and their stable economies and currencies to survive inflationary pressures.

“My site is still earning me over $1000 bucks per month, enough to pay for my monthly installments on my car loan and plenty of beer on the weekends, not bad for a few hours work,” says Kiernan Cranley, one of the beta-testers of M.E. “What excites me most is the traffic building capabilities that Happar M.E quickly proved to me. It makes my head spin when I think of the ways I can use this tool as a monetization engine and traffic building tool.”

Customers Should Read Reviews at Software Reviews New Web Site Before Purchasing Software

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) February 25, 2008 — With the vast range of computer software and games now available on the market finding the one that is right for you has become a rather “hit or miss”, time consuming and costly affair. It is good to know however that one website, Software Reviews Now, (www.softwarereviewsnow.com), has made the process a whole lot easier by providing in-depth reviews of computer software programs and games with this new and very user friendly website being launched this week.

The new www.softwarereviewsnow.com computer software reviews site has been designed to be very simple to use whilst still providing relevant, hard-hitting reviews of the latest software and games.
Software Reviews Now is the place to go for hard-hitting reviews of computer software and games because all the reviews are sent in by the readers themselves. The readers play a major role by submitting their own computer software reviews for publication. They have to send in a software review of 500 plus words which is designed to give the readers a more in-depth review than others that may be found elsewhere on the Internet. It is this unique approach which is driving volume traffic to the site.

Software Reviews Now encourages readers to write in with their opinions whether or not they liked the software. Other readers will then have the possibility of evaluating that particular piece of software which they may be considering and finding out about it BEFORE they pay for it. This will save them time, effort, money and disappointment.

Software Reviews Now also offers the readers the convenience of buying software and games direct from the online Software Store operated by Amazon.com. Software Reviews Now is proving to be a popular concept judging by the visitor numbers and the number of review emails already received.

Version 2.0 of Xceed DataGrid for WPF Professional Edition features the addition of hierarchical master/detail. Many other new features have been added to both the Professional Edition and the Express Edition. Xceed’s support for WPF will help facilitate adoption of Microsoft’s next-generation platform, which lets developers create the world’s most powerful desktop and rich client applications.

The addition of master/detail capabilities to Xceed DataGrid for WPF Professional Edition makes the component the de facto standard among datagrids for Windows Presentation Foundation, further reinforcing its position as the most feature-rich control of its kind. Version 2.0 of this product lets developers create applications with the utmost in data-presentation flexibility through master/detail grids. This means that each datarow–whether in the main grid or in a detail–can have an unlimited number of details attached to it. Furthermore, details can have “sibling” or “child” details, or both, and also support headers and footers, grouping, sorting, and autofiltering, as well as custom detail relations and different styles for the data items contained in each same-level detail. Finally, custom grouping in grid and details is supported.

Various additions have also been made to both the Professional and the Express editions. Several new editors for a total of thirteen let end-users take full advantage of their data, allowing them to clearly discern the trends and patterns hidden within and consequently make better decisions based on that data: their data will do more work for them. Furthermore, a new design time configuration window lets you set up the most important features quickly and easily, which, when combined with the elegant, intuitive design of the component’s object model, will facilitate the creation of grid-based applications. Finally, a Resource Center application now available with the component centralizes various DataGrid for WPF assets and provides a news feed for the latest developments concerning the product.

Finally, Xceed DataGrid for WPF is thoroughly tested and compatible with Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, and Expression Blend, and fully integrates into Microsoft’s IDE.

Since its release just over year ago, Xceed DataGrid for WPF has constantly been evolving into a solid, mature product, thanks to no less than ten releases, five of which have been major. Its community forum is highly active, with over 1,000 threads.

This edition provides full distribution rights, free bugfixes and updates, and community support. Simply register to start using it. The Professional Edition is for the most demanding.
