Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) March 31, 2008 -- uPhotoMEASURE (formerly iPhotoMEASURE), a revolutionary software tool that makes it possible to accurately and efficiently measure anything in a photo taken with any digital camera, has announced plans to offer the product via Software as a Service (SaaS).
Company founder and CEO Paul Minor also announced the product name change to uPhotoMEASURE, because "it's now easier than ever for you ("u") to use it any time."
The software program will be made available for a single usage, and through a monthly or yearly subscription. "We see this as a great opportunity to reach more customers," Minor said. "This way, the user has access to all the same options as if they owned the uPhotoMEASURE software on their desktop, without purchasing it."
uPhotoMEASURE products are easy to use. The user takes a picture of the area, room or object to be measured. The digital photo is then transferred to a computer and opened with uPhotoMEASURE. With a click of the mouse, any distance within the picture can be accurately measured. This provides a quick and efficient solution for professions where size, distances and measurements are prevalent.
"We realize there are people who don't want to spend more than $100 for software they may not use that often," Minor said. "With SaaS access, homeowners tackling a remodeling project can complete their measuring needs in one easy to use application for a fraction of the purchase price."
For contractors, suppliers and retailers, uPhotoMEASURE provides an opportunity to offer accurate measuring services to their clients, saving back and forth trips due to forgotten dimensions and color matching. "Every day, hardware and home improvement stores have customers asking them about measurements for painting, carpeting, and countless other remodeling and redecorating projects," Minor said. "Now these companies can provide this information to those customers without purchasing the entire software."
The one-time cost is $6.95 for four photos, within a 24-hour period of unlimited access. A monthly subscription (20 photos) costs $29.95. A one-year subscription (75 photos) is available for $69.95. Multiple uPhotoMEASURE versions will be available via SaaS, including the new Version 4 Platinum, the most accurate digital photo measuring solution available.
The SaaS version of uPhotoMEASURE will provide the same functionality as the software available for purchase, including photo data storage and the ability to email information to subcontractors, supply houses, or any other entities involved in a project.
DigiContractor, Inc., the company behind uPhotoMEASURE, projects 750,000 users within the first year of SaaS access. The new Software as a Service offering, developed with Corent Technology, Inc. of Aliso Viejo, CA, will be available at a number of home improvement websites, including www.HomeTips.com, www.builderbooks.com, www.allremodel.com , www.craftsman-book.com and the Benjamin Moore Paints site (www.benjaminmoore.com).
