Estimating
How good are your estimates? How much are you willing to bet on them?
Making estimates comes down to one word: accuracy. Estimate too low and you’re committed to a situation that is unprofitable at best; too high and you probably won’t be awarded the job. The Advantage Software Company works with agencies every day to help them get this right.

Easily answer these questions and more with Advantage Software’s Financial Status tool.
