I'm excited to see Autodesk continue to improve Constructware."

"Constructware was a key part of our overall technology systems overhaul," said Jason Bentley, director of business systems for Balfour Beatty Construction. "The new features in the 2010 version will give us better access to data - enabling us to include Constructware in reporting across all our core systems."

reports into one convenient package.
