What’s New in Market Analyst 8
Overview
We never stand still. We’re continuously updating and improving every aspect of Market Analyst. Market Analyst 8 includes over 180 separate fixes, enhancements, and additions. It represents one of the most feature-rich updates we have ever released - and that was before we got the designers in and gave MA8 a brand new modern “skin”. With all updates, we aim to give you new features but not force any changes on you. You can take advantage of the new work or continue to use Market Analyst in the same way that you have always done. During the Setup processing, all your MA7 work will be copied to MA8 so that you can run both in tandem.
