New SEER Functionality, Like a Kid in a Candy Store

It is interesting as the company has grown over the years and as i have gotten further and further from day to day software requirements and design, to see some of the amazing functionality coming out of our development group.  Sometimes it makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.

I was struck by the newest version of the metrics and benchmarking.  A Histogram in addition to a scatter plot.  This is so handy.  And nearly a surprise to me. (I did know they were doing it but didn’t see it until beta time)

I see some of the global estimation abilities that have gone into SEER for Hardware Electronics and Systems.  Very nice!!!.  Makes trades even faster.  And these I didnt know about until they were in the shipping product.

For SEER for IT, the newest scenario functionality is beautifully executed.  Generate an entire IT system estimate by using a pattern and answering a few questions.  I never saw this improved version until release.

And the Far out project… estimates unmanned spacecraft far out into the future.  i just played with it a few weeks ago.  It was released months ago.  Very interesting. 

Even some of our unreleased projects such as xippr (code name, ask and you can find out details)  Amazing in its ability to ferret out project issues and potential problems.

And our top secret project… Amazing as I occasionally get glimpses into the builds.

As our processes continue to tighten (ISO 9001:2000 review coming up next month) I will be invited to attend more reviews…  some of the fun surprises will disappear for me.  I love seeing SEER evolve.  Hats off to the development group.
