PORTLAND, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 9, 2010 — Viewpoint Construction Software, a Portland-based software company exclusively focused on developing construction-specific software continues to see a wave of contractors looking for and implementing contemporary integrated construction-specific software suites. Viewpoint experienced a 42% increase in new customer adoption of its powerful V6 Software during the first half of 2010. In addition, overall interest in obtaining information about Viewpoint’s products jumped 138% during the first half of the year as measured by inquiries and product demonstrations. Despite a challenging economy for many construction businesses, the amount of interest in Viewpoint’s software and the continuing high level of new customer adoption indicates that progressive firms are looking to update their core technology to improve efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness.

Summit Materials Group, a rapidly growing heavy-side materials company chose Viewpoint’s V6 Software as its platform for the future and will be standardizing recent and future acquisitions on Viewpoint’s contemporary Microsoft .NET / SQL platform. Viewpoint was not only able to provide Summit Materials Group with a comprehensive software suite, but solved many other cost and efficiency challenges facing the company by providing a total Managed Services IT solution. Summit Materials Group users will be able to safely access their Viewpoint Software from state-of-the-art hosting centers that provide scalable and cost-conscious processing and disaster recovery services. “The opportunity to partner with and provide Summit Materials Group the software solution they needed was truly a collaborative team effort. Not only did we have the contemporary, integrated software suite to address Summit’s requirements, we had the necessary services and deployment options to meet their future needs” commented Jay Haladay, CEO of Viewpoint.

Viewpoint attributes its success in adding a record number of new customers in the first half of 2010 to firms taking advantage of slower times to rebuild their technology infrastructure. Finding efficiencies in day-to-day operations, accounting practices and effectively managing profitability were key factors for customers deciding to add or upgrade construction-specific software to their technology infrastructure. Discovering better ways to manage jobs and data is more important than ever and smart construction organizations are finding a quick return on their investment by implementing Viewpoint’s contemporary software solution.

In the first half of the year, Viewpoint made a big investment in staffing key positions, including customer support, software development, professional services and sales and marketing. The staffing additions will allow Viewpoint to better respond to client needs, develop new technologies and expand the Viewpoint brand to a broader market. With recent expansion in Australia and Canada, the beginning of 2010 also included securing and opening new office locations and staffing up to meet the rapidly developing international demand.
