BuilderMT, Leading Provider of Home Builder Software, Announces Another win for Switch Campaign: Ennis Homes, Central Valley California Home Builders

April 18, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Lakewood, Colorado (PRLeap) April 18, 2007 — BuilderMT (www.BuilderMT.com), the nation’s leading provider of production management and homebuilder software for residential home builders, today announced that Ennis Homes has elected to switch its home building operations to BuilderMT. The move was initiated by Ennis Homes’ president & CEO, Brian Ennis, who had recently earned headlines as a founder of the Technology Enhancement Project, LLC (TEP), a builder-financed group initially set up as a technology development partner for home builder software enhancements with Builder 360, which was recently acquired by Constellation HomeBuilder Systems.

Citing BuilderMT’s award-winning staff, leading functionality, low maintenance fees, reputation for continued enhancements and thorough implementations of home builder software, Ennis Homes is another in a series of high-profile customer wins for BuilderMT, as BuilderMT continues to sustain the double-digit growth it has experienced every year since its inception in 1999. Specifically, Ennis Homes comes to BuilderMT through its Switch Campaign (www.BuilderMT.com/Switch), where BuilderMT has converted dozens of builders from other home builder software systems through its wide-reaching data conversions program. In the case of Ennis Homes, the conversion to BuilderMT is from Builder 360, formally BuildSoft Enterprise.

“BuilderMT has already completed many of the enhancements that TEP targeted more than two years ago, and that’s impressive,” said Brian Ennis, of Ennis Homes. “Ennis Homes choose BuilderMT because it wants to partner with a company that is serious about enhancing its home builder software from the builder’s perspective. Moreover, BuilderMT has a ‘can do’ attitude second to none in the industry, and in hindsight, BuilderMT would have been a better original choice for TEP.”

“We’re delighted to count Ennis Homes among our rapidly growing list of customers,” said Tom Gebes, BuilderMT’s president. “The fact that Ennis Homes is such a high profile leader in the builder community only underscores the conspicuous value BuilderMT can bring to builders of any size, any background, and any legacy computer code base.”
