			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year’s IBS was the best year in the past four for Constellation HomeBuilder Systems and the thought was echoed by many builders in attendance. There is a realization that technology will play a much more important role in the builder’s future.</p>
<p>There was talk everywhere about leveraging <a href="http://www.constructech.com/vendor_profiles/vendordetail.aspx?ID=19">social media in homebuilding</a>. It is a strategy you should adopt NOW! See what I mean…</p>
<p>One thing I learned is the importance of “claiming your business” on Google. There is a way to enhance the listing of your business on Google including maps, pictures content and even reviews. It is part of the Local Business Center… Who Knew? Check out this link to learn about <a href="http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=143059">Claiming your Business</a>.</p>
<p>The response to our new <a href="http://www.constellationhb.com/web-solutions.php">Groundbreaker website </a>solution was phenomenal. If you know you need to update your website or think you may need to change see what Groundbreaker can do for you. <a href="http://news.constellationhb.com/index.php/2010/01/25/constellation-homebuilder-systems-announces-groundbreaker-websites/">Announced</a> at the IBS show Groundbreaker had builder big and small talking and agreeing the unbelievable value it represents.</p>
<p>It was amazing to see the response to the newest product in the Constellation HomeBuilder Systems line of ERP solutions. <a href="http://news.constellationhb.com/index.php/2010/01/25/constellation-homebuilder-systems-launches-the-homedev/">HomeDev </a>is a project management and job cost system developed for the small builder and remodeler. It uses Microsoft tools and works with QuickBooks. Many builders stated clearly “this is exactly what we have been waiting for”.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.constellationhb.com/index.php/2010/02/01/constellation-homebuilder-systems-introduces-the-new-buildsoft-pro%e2%84%a2-release-to-home-builders-and-remodelers-in-more-than-a-decade/">BuildSoft Pro </a>was introduced at the IBS as well. Current BuildSoft users were stopped dead in their tracks when we showed them the new product and how it will help them better manage job costs and complete projects on time.</p>
