Robert: Hi, my name's Robert. I am an applications developer. I give e-Builder a four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, you can click the link below. What we use e-Builder for is schedule control, document control. We use it for some workflow management. And then we also use it for I guess a little bit of analytics, but not as much on the analytics side. Wow. To pick one thing is pretty tough, but I think just the fact that it's an all-in-one solution. It really meets all of the needs that we have to manage a design or a construction or design build project from start to finish. I think what I like least is probably the same thing that I like most, is that it is kind of an all-in-one. So for some of our smaller, less robust projects, it's kind of overkill. We would like to, I think, be able to use certain pieces of it, like just the schedule piece or just the document management piece potentially, opposed to having to use the entire thing.
