Middle Atlantic Products rolls out RackTools 3.0 Middle Atlantic Products, Inc., New Jersey-based manufacturers of engineered mounting solutions for the systems contracting industry, is to roll out RackTools 3.0, the newest version of their advanced rack specification and layout software, at InfoComm 2005. RackTools 3.0 is based on a Stardraw engine and allows you to configure rack enclosures with all required accessories graphically, store and print out your drawings, and generate purchase orders based upon your individual user profile. It has been designed to exploit internet connectivity and can also function as a stand-alone application, thus offering users the best of both worlds; when online, RackTools 3.0 automatically installs application and data updates, including pricing, transparently. This means that you are always working with the latest and most complete version of the application and product information. Furthermore, each product has links to online information, so you are only one mouse-click away from full technical specifications for any Middle Atlantic product. When working offline, all data from the previous online session is cached locally, so you can still design racks, and generate and print purchase orders with the most recent pricing information. According to Stardraw.com CEO David Snipp, the criteria for the new application were very clear. "Middle Atlantic Products asked us for a solution that would be accessible and functional 24/7, whether the user was on- or off-line, with seamless delivery of updates" he explained. "Secondly, it had to support all manner of custom rackshelves, allowing customers to create their own designs quickly and easily, and build their own libraries where necessary. Thirdly, it had to be AutoCAD-compatible with the ability to read and write DWG files. We were able to achieve all of this for RackTools 3.0 using a Stardraw engine, which offered very significant advantages over the previous version of RackTools." Middle Atlantic Products' Marketing Communications Manager, Michael Cukrow, is looking forward to the roll-out. "Stardraw.com has provided us with a solution that can accommodate all of our requirements. RackTools 3.0 is based on a simple drag-and-drop principle with full access to a library of our entire product database, with the option to create your own custom rack shelves using a specially designed wizard. It really is a one-stop solution and should immensely simplify the ordering process both for us and our customers.“ RackTools 3.0 will be available at Middle Atlantic Products InfoComm booth #1558 on CD and as a free download at www.racktools.com (available after June 8, 2005) Ends.
