SEER for Software from Galorath: Setting the Standard for 20 Years

Business Wire, May 7, 2008

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The year 1988 is recent history but in software terms it is akin to the early Industrial Revolution--a time when Commodore 64 software sales were still in the tens of millions of dollars, Americans spent over $2.2 billion on MS-DOS-based applications and Lotus 1-2-3 had a 68 percent market share. Also during that year, but with much less public fanfare, Galorath Incorporated launched its SEER-SEM (Software Estimation Model) and found early adopters in the United States Air Force, the National Security Agency, GTE, and Lockheed. But while Commodore, MS-DOS and Lotus have all either declined or disappeared, SEER-SEM (now called SEER for Software) has, not only remained robust with thousands of additional users, but for over 20 years has retained each one of its original customers.

"The reason for the outstanding longevity of our customer relationships is not brand loyalty but innovation, pure and simple," said Dan Galorath, president and CEO of Galorath Incorporated. "SEER for Software has had 16 major version enhancements since 1988. We learned early on that listening to customers and understanding what they liked--and didn't like--about our product, was the key to producing the industry's best software."

SEER for Software--then and now--is an application that helps organizations plan, analyze and manage complex software development projects. In its earliest incarnation as one of the first such applications to be Microsoft Windows-based, it comprised 13 5-1/4 inch floppy discs containing 30,000 lines of code (today, Version 7.2 weighs in at 200,000). In addition to the aforementioned longtime customers, SEER for Software users include BAE Systems, Bank of America, Ford Motor Company, ITT Space Systems, several divisions of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and the Social Security Administration.

SEER for Software, like all SEER solutions, features an intuitive interface for defining and describing projects; a simulation/modeling engine; knowledge bases that provide definitions, values, ranges and calibrations based on comparable project histories; a variety of charts, graphs and reports for quickly summarizing and presenting project outcomes and alternatives; and open architecture and APIs that ensure the data's easy integration with departmental productivity solutions and enterprise applications.
