RE: Volts Software
Volts supports voltages up to 35,000 not 480. It can handle the most complex industrial project supporting switchboards, MDPs, 3 levels of feeder panels and sub panels. It is currently being used in oil fields, large and small industrial facilities, large and small commerical facilities, casinos, etc.
Volts just finished the Miami Airport and is now starting the Port of Miami. Volts was used to setup the military installations in Iraq and Afganistan. Volts sets up NASA sites. And the list goes on and on.
I think it would be better to contact Dolphins Software for complete and accurate information.

As I mentioned my experience was limited to a eval version from a couple of years ago.
My impression was that it was better suited to 480V and lower systems. It seemed that was where the program's emphasis and focus was.
My standard advice to anyone considering a major software purchase is to get an eval or demo version of all programs under consideration and do a comparison based on the tasks and systems you want to use it for. This is generally much more useful than trying to compare features listed in brochures.
Cheers,
Dave

One additional closing comment.
I am a member of Volts' development team. We have been constantly increasing Volts' abilities and features with both the customer's and our own ideas and needs. With that Volts can handle any task inclusive of fiber optic fills with any application inclusive of even ship building. I must say that it is a pleasure to be associated with a customer driven company that responds rapidly (usually within a day for additions or modifications) that does not out source.
Also, when evaluating a complex software package like Volts it is a far better idea to contact the developers with any questions or observations before drawing any conclusions. I think you already know the story about assuming...

Hmm... a bit disingenuous don't you think? First you imply that you are a user, then later admit you are an employee. But I'll hand it to you for coming clean. A lot of us work for manufacturers but endeavor to keep our biases out of the forum, or state up front that we are posting on behalf of our employer. I recommend you follow that guideline in the future.
