TORRANCE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 22, 2015 — BQE Software, Inc., a world leader in time billing, project management and accounting software with more than 325,000 users worldwide, announced today the immediate availability of BQE ArchiOffice 2015. The latest version of the award-winning solution for architects delivers incredible ease-of-use, a smarter organization system and robust tools to gain better financial visibility.

“At its core, ArchiOffice is business intelligence software designed to help architects manage their firm while they focus on creating beautiful architecture,” said Steven Burns, FAIA, Chief Creative Officer at BQE Software. “Our challenge this year was to continue our hallmark of simplification while increasing usability and access to critical business data. Some of these improvements are as subtle as automatically generating smart file names when reports or invoices are created. We’ve also done studies to see how our users interact with the software and made numerous improvements to our search screens in order to make their experience faster and more intuitive.”

A major new feature in ArchiOffice 2015 is the ability to archive and restore projects with related time, expenses, invoices and payments. Over the past 10 years, ArchiOffice customers have realized that they have enormous amounts of legacy data that isn’t necessary and have asked for an archiving utility. ArchiOffice 2015 delivers on this popular request.

“We’ve also added powerful new tools in our latest release, such as a new dashboard widget that shows past monthly payments, to strengthen your visibility into key financial information,” Burns continued. “And we’re looking forward to releasing another fantastic widget in a few months that will also help firms visualize their future revenue. Overall, ArchiOffice 2015 empowers users with intelligent tools to organize their disparate business data in one central location for better project and financial management.”

With new features designed to increase efficiency and ease-of-use, as well as flexibility and control, architects can improve their firm’s productivity and make informative business decisions when using ArchiOffice 2015. Notable 2015 features include:
