[November 21, 2009] Howard S. Wright Names Viewpoint Construction Software Solution Provider Tweet Nov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- After an 11-month evaluation process, West Coast contractor Howard S. Wright reported it has selected Viewpoint V6 software as its information platform. "Everything is designed to work together, and that's a big plus for us," said HSW CFO Jim Constance. Viewpoint Software rose to the top during the selection process because of the ease of configuring the software to the way Howard S. Wright operates. They were thrilled to discover they didn't need to change their business to fit the new software platform. With Viewpoint, inquiries provide the ability to instantly "drill down" on all aspects of project cost, even to an image of the source transaction. This inquiry feature alone will free up accounting staff time. In addition, their IT group will no longer have to manage multiple systems, which will streamline systems management. Recognizing that Project Managers often have their own ways of doing things, the selection committee involved three senior PMs in the review process - those with the company the longest and the most detail-oriented. Wright said it plans to adopt Viewpoint as a standard project controls solution throughout the company. Howard S Wright, and their affiliated companies, is a general contractor in the Northwest.
