ConEst Software Systems Announces Release of RapidBOM 6.0

MANCHESTER, NH – (September 10, 2007) – Today at the 2007 BICSI (Building Industry Consulting Service International) Fall Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, ConEst Software Systems, a leading provider of estimating, design build, project management and billing software for the electrical, low voltage and structured cabling industries, announced the release and general availability of RapidBOM version 6.0.

RapidBOM is a complete telecommunications network estimating system that automatically creates a Bill of Materials (BOM), including both material and labor costs, needed to totally design a network from the faceplate to the router. RapidBOM contains a regularly updated database of key product information from cabling manufacturers as well as industry-standard labor units. In all, over 150,000 products and more than 130 telecommunications manufacturers are represented in RapidBOM’s database.

RapidBOM also boasts an internal intelligence system that validates the design against BICSI, TIA and EIA standards, thus limiting errors in the design process by preventing an estimator from creating a substandard, or incomplete, design. RapidBOM ensures that all of the parts of a network build have been accounted for so that bids are fully priced and that no time is lost on site for lack of appropriate materials.

“On the strength of our well-received v5.5 release, we are excited to introduce RapidBOM 6.0 with advanced estimating capabilities,” said Heidi Tilley, RapidBOM Product Manager. “This release, with its emphasis on labor factoring, will enable those with more sophisticated estimating and pricing needs to achieve greater efficiency in preparation of their bids as well as to enhance their confidence in the quality, accuracy, and completeness of their estimates. Equally as important, this release paves the way for a new pricing structure that will enable a larger proportion of voice and data contractors to benefit from RapidBOM.”
