Maxwell Systems has released an updated version of American Contractor, its construction business management software product. Version 8.0 introduces three main feature sets, Maxwell said in a statement:

• One, the user interface has been revamped to mimic Microsoft Outlook. This gives users the ability to do things such as open multiple records at the same time.
• Two, users can now sort lists by dragging and dropping column headers. There's also a Find feature for lists and a new set of list filters, Maxwell said.
• Three, construction estimating documents such as RFIs and transmittals are now available for proposals.
