We've seen the same thing with our software - increased competition and scarcity of jobs has resulted in a tighter bidding market and more demands on estimators time. This, of course, has resulted in them looking for solutions that can help them become more efficient and effective. The other very interesting thing we saw was the dramatic shift to hard bid from negotiated work, resulting in much high utilization rates from our existing clients in regards to sending out invitations to bid, etc. Needless to say, it's been an exciting and dynamic fourteen months. Thanks again for the article. - James Benham SmartBidNet.com Don,
