TrakSoft today released an upgraded version of Contract Analyst, a Contract Management System that includes extremely enhanced user-customization capabilities.

 

"Our developers outdid themselves with this new release," said Gary Harris, director and chief developer. "With the new enhanced user-customization capabilities, Contract Analyst can be customized to be able to be used by virtually any organization in any industry."

 

The version has an enhanced user-customization capability and is able to rename or hide entire windows, or create totally new ones. In addition, data fields can be renamed, hidden or disabled, moved around, and made mandatory or read-only. New fields can also be created on existing windows. This provides better flexibility and versatility to meet an organization's needs.

 

The new version also sports a new, and more intuitive, look and feel. A familiar style navigation bar has been added to Contract Analyst along with new tabs and graphics with vivid colors. New customizable list windows have been added for almost all data entry windows. This enables to sort and group the records right in the window. The treeviews have been enhanced for performance and attachments are now more visible within the system. The enhanced internal search engine helps in searching any database table on any lookup item, data ranges, and text.

 

"18 new windows and screens have been added throughout the application covering all modules and administration functions," said Paul Buck, senior developer. "This increases the number of data fields from about 850 to over 1270, of which over 260 are user-defined drop down list fields, over 115 selection fields, and over 250 date fields, all providing increased efficiency and data integrity."

 

A new "Custom Fields" window has been added that enable organizations to create a totally customized window for any use within these modules. The Projects Module has been expanded to provide for basic project tracking within the system. Five new windows have been added to the Projects Module.

 

Contract Analyst is a flexible, comprehensive, and intuitive Contract Management System. It can be managed from initial analysis through the creation and advertisement of RFP's; through the receipt and scoring of proposals, to awarding, managing, and closing the contract.

 

Contract Analyst manages and tracks requests for proposals (RFP), proposals received, vendors, clients, and the full contract lifecycle. Contract Analyst can be used either by organizations that award contracts or by vendors that are award contracts to manage their proposals submitted and contracts awarded to them.

Contract Analyst helps organizations to quickly get and maintain control their contracts, simplify and streamlined control; identify and reduce Contract risks; keep track of important contract dates, deadlines, and milestones; improve accuracy of contract information and reporting; Improve the management contract budgeting, billing, and expenditures; and improve the pre-contract award processes.

 

"Unlike many other systems currently on the market, Contract Analyst supports five different enterprise-level database engines as well as ODBC and OLE-DB database connections," said Paul Gronka, senior developer. "If we don't support a database used in an organization, we will work with you to support it. The database is open providing easy importing of legacy data from other databases, spreadsheets, and files, and linking to other systems."

 

"With Contract Analyst you get an intuitive, flexible, and very comprehensive system with total user customization, a built-in ad hoc report writer, one full year of unmatched client support, e-mail notifications, electronic bidding, two-level security, and realistic site license pricing instead of the usual 'per-user' pricing," said Harris. "I don't know of any other Contract Management System on the market that offers all of this in one package."
