decDigital announces that decDigital Power Takeoff has reached end of life status as of February 1, 2010.
What does this mean to you, our valued customer? This means that if you have a version of decDigital Power Takeoff, version 8 or lower (7, 6, etc..), that beginning next February, decDigital will no longer offer technical support.
This is necessary so we can spend our resources supporting our newest version, Elite Takeoff 2010, which is due for release February 1, 2010.
In the coming weeks, we will be releasing additional information regarding Elite Takeoff 2010 and upgrade options for our current customers. |

Our mission at decDigital is simply stated - produce outstanding software that people want to use. That means producing software that installs easily, runs flawlessly, and helps you become more productive. We currently produce four software products that will help construction estimators produce more estimates, make fewer mistakes and increase profit.
Elite Takeoff 2008 - ScaleMaster is our entry-level software that utilizes the Scale Master II for input of linear measurements. By rolling the dimensions that compose the perimeter of a floor plan, the user can determine its area and perimeter! A graphic image of the digitized plan is presented on the screen. If you're just starting to digitize plans, then this is the low-cost solution for you.
Elite Takeoff 2008 - Basic is our entry level software for those that have purchased a large tablet or roll-up digitizer. You can digitize complex areas and lengths from blueprints in seconds with incredible accuracy, speed and ease! You can transfer quantities into Excel or any Windows-based estimating program with a single click of the digitizing pen or cursor. Our interfacing technology is the most powerful in the industry...and the simplest to use!
Once you've gotten your feet wet with Basic (or maybe you're an old hand with the computer), you can move up to Elite Takeoff 2008 - Standard. Combining our legendary ease-of-use with advanced layering and grouping, Elite Takeoff 2008 - Standard is ready to handle your most challenging project.
Looking for more advanced, trade-specific features? Then Elite Takeoff 2008 - Advanced is for you. It includes features specifically written for the floor tile, acoustic tile and carpet trades. Do you have the need to perform takeoff on electronic copies of plans? eTakeoff is included free of charge in Advanced. eTakeoff allows you to perform takeoff with any electronic formats you may receive - you don't even need a digitizer!
No matter which version you choose, the best part is that you can use your current estimating software. Whether it's your custom Excel spreadsheet, Timberine, or any other estimating program, our software works the way you do...you'll want to use our software!

Stocks and homes turn in similar lackluster price performances over past year
According to North America?s four major stock market indices, equity prices have been moving sideways for almost a year. There was a spurt in April 2010, when 52-week highs were recorded, but there have been mainly double-digit percentage declines since then, taking index levels back to where they were in October-November 2009. The exception on the plus side has been the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), which has benefited from a firming up of some commodity prices and, most recently, a takeover bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan by BHP Billiton of Australia.
