iSqFt INTRODUCES THE ALL-NEW iSqFt LEARNING CENTER
iSqFt spends a great deal of time and effort to hear what its customers are saying, and working to offer the kinds of solutions they want. And that's not limited to their software.
The iSqFt Learning Center was created based on customer feedback. It can be found inside the iSqFt 10 application and offers resources like contact information and articles, but most interesting are the videos that walk users through using the application. It is task-based. For instance, if you want to know how to filter the project listings, it will walk you through the process, step by step.
