What's new in SIX
Coming in Spring 2012
It’s about time. Time is money. Your time is valuable and can be the difference between making profit and loss on a project. D-Tools SIX has been re-designed to increase your productivity and efficiency by making it easier to get to core functionality so you can estimate, design and deliver your projects faster than ever before.
It's time to work. It's time to profit. It's time to grow.
SIX builds on over 12 years of System Integrator software experience and has been re-designed to make it faster and easier than ever to get started with the software, add product data, and start creating projects. SIX has even tighter integration with Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2010* to help ensure that your teams know what they need to be focused on – whether they are in the office or out in the field. SIX helps ensure that you win the job and that your projects are delivered on time and to-budget.
Re-Designed Unified User Interface
SIX is now easier to Install, Register, and Configure than ever before. The UI has been re-designed with a familiar, intuitive ribbon interface that makes it easier to get to critical elements of the software – over 80% of the work you do every day can be accessed from a single, unified UI, increasing productivity while creating a more pleasurable user experience.
