San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2008 — SmartDraw.com today announced that Middle Bucks Institute of Technology-the regional leader in providing career development, advanced technical training, and pre-professional programs located in Jamison, Pennsylvania–has selected SmartDraw software over AutoCAD for technical diagrams and charts. SmartDraw is installed on more than 50 computers primarily within the manufacturing department to assist students with projects in engineering, welding and precision machining.

“We were looking for an easier, more flexible program than AutoCAD,” said Patrick Rich, Computer Support Specialist, Middle Bucks Institute of Technology. “SmartDraw delivers ease of use and offers a vast assortment of choices.”

According to Rich, SmartDraw has been used to create various technical diagrams such as workflows, Gantt charts, organizational charts, engineering charts, bar graphs, pie charts, flow charts, and more.

“As staff members become aware of what SmartDraw can offer, they show an interest in wanting to try the software themselves,” said Rich.

SmartDraw, the world’s most popular business graphics software, is the first program that automates the process of creating business graphics such as flowcharts, engineering diagrams, organizational charts and more. Unlike other graphics programs that provide you with a blank screen and expect you to draw, such as AutoCAD, with SmartDraw you start with a template that is specifically designed to create the type of illustration you need. You enter the information and SmartDraw does the rest: building the graphic automatically using built-in rules and professional design themes to guarantee polished, presentation-quality results in just a few minutes. It draws for you! And, in the rare case that users need extra help, SmartDraw offers free customer support to all users.

SmartDraw offers a variety of licensing options and programs, including educational pricing. A free trial is available at www.smartdraw.com and includes both online and telephone technical support.

Markham, ON (PRWEB) February 4, 2008 — Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, the largest provider of homebuilding software, is pleased to announce that Constellation OnLocation-Schedule has won the Constructech Top Products 2008 award.

Constructech selected Constellation OnLocation-Schedule for its ease of use and extremely powerful field scheduling functionality. Designed for both superintendents and construction managers, OnLocation-Schedule ensures that everyone is up-to-date and that building progress is closely monitored.

“We congratulate Constellation HomeBuilder Systems for winning a Constructech Top Products award,” said Mike Carrozzo, editor, Constructech magazine. “Customers using this product have had great success managing construction schedules and payment processes from the field.” This is yet another benefit that Constellation provides to its customers. With an unsurpassed dedication to the homebuilding industry and continued investment in new technologies, Constellation is positioned to lead the industry for many years to come.

As part of the OnLocation suite of mobile device applications, OnLocation-Schedule is one piece of the big picture. Coupled with NEWSTAR Enterprise and Constellation Focus, OnLocation is the basis for a powerful system of schedule management, supplier and trade performance measurement, and timely report generation and distribution. Many builders have used this system to achieve better supplier and trade relationships, while increasing customer satisfaction with fewer mistakes and improved cycle times. Using OnLocation-Schedule’s “Complete with Exceptions” feature has allowed builders to withhold payments for work that was done incorrectly, while allowing the building schedule to proceed in many cases. In addition, the use of Constellation Focus allows suppliers to be given a statement that identifies all the tasks for which payment is being held, reducing the number of phone calls and providing a clear incentive for completing the work as soon as possible.

“We are very excited about OnLocation-Schedule being selected for another homebuilding industry award,” exclaims Dexter Salna, President of Constellation HomeBuilder Systems. “Constellation listens to its customers and develops the solutions that will improve their businesses. We have a strong group of early adopter customers that deserve a lot of credit for helping us develop award winning applications. These relationships improve product quality and ultimately improve the solutions that we can offer to other homebuilders.”
