At the January Atlanta Section meeting, Steve Williams of US COST spoke on the topic of, "Web-Based Estimating." He demonstrated estimating software which is capable of being centralized through a web-based application, but flexible enough to be customized for individual locations and users. The software can also be individualized in order to optimize oversight, manage access, and prevent unauthorized use. Judging by the number of questions posed by the attendees, the presentation was both informative and extremely interesting. The Atlanta Section thanks Mr. Williams for an excellent presentation.
