City of Eugene and The Portland Office of Transportation Choose Appia Estimator

GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 8, 2006 - The City of Eugene, Oregon and The Portland Office of Transportation have selected Appia Estimator™ for their road construction cost estimation software solution. The City of Eugene and The Portland Office of Transportation worked with Stenstrom Group, Inc., an Info Tech Value Added Reseller, to select a solution that not only allows for cost estimation, but also integrates with CAD systems and provides robust regression reporting to ensure accurate estimation. Estimator was the logical choice for both clients, offering powerful estimation tools in one easy-to-use package.

Appia Estimator was developed for transportation agencies and their design consultants. Estimator is an interactive, stand-alone cost estimation system for highway construction. It features a modern and intuitive graphical user interface that simplifies and streamlines the preparation of detailed estimates. Estimator supports several methods of price derivation, including bid-based, cost-based (or cost sheet), reference price or ad hoc methods. Estimator supports XML technology, allowing for easy file transfer. Estimates can be exported as XML files and sent to other applications or imported back in XML format when you want to further refine an existing estimate.

“Estimator is an industry standard application,” said Joe Phelan, Director of Marketing and Sales for Info Tech. “Its user base continues to grow because it is a very customer-focused application that evolves and adapts to meet their needs.”
