SEER Estimate By Comparison Professional Released To All Users

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SEER Estimate By Comparison (formerly SEER-AccuScope) comes in two flavors, the core and the professional.  The professional version allows estimation of anything, such as

• total system cost
• software size
• hardware weight
• system value
• server capacity
• best choice from a set of alternatives

This new feature incorporates sophisticated mathematics for uncertainty and estimation.

For the first year Galorath is providing the professional version to all SEER users.  Beginning the second year the professional functionality will be available as an upgrade.

Galorath recommends using an industrial strength database for an enterprise but will allow Microsoft Access for simple desktop installations.

This feature began shipping with the release of SEER for Software 7.3, in October, 2008.
