MANCHESTER, NH – (December 11, 2009) ) ConEst Software Systems, an acclaimed technology innovator of estimating, design build, project management and billing software for the electrical, low voltage and structured cabling industries, has announced the latest product release of SureCount Symbol Recognition Software. This most recent release of SureCount, Version 3.0, reflects the product’s ongoing evolution as the top onscreen digital takeoff software for electrical, low voltage and data cabling contractors.
