Dexter + Chaney’s Forefront® Finalist In ‘Innovation Awards’ Competition

 
 
SEATTLE, August 9, 2005: Dexter + Chaney’s Forefront® Construction Management Software has been chosen as a finalist in the 2005 INNOVATION Awards competition sponsored by Electrical Contracting Products. The competition “recognizes outstanding companies whose products or services have best responded to electrical contractors’ market challenges by offering creative and innovative ideas,” according to the magazine.

Divided into 15 product categories, the 2005 INNOVATION Awards are judged by a panel of professional electrical contractors who will evaluate each of more than 120 product finalists on six criteria: innovation, ease of use, cost effectiveness, quality contribution, maintainability and productivity improvements.

Award winners will be announced September 18 at the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Show in New Orleans.

“The electrical contractors judging this year’s competition certainly have their work cut out for them,” said Brian Taylor, editor, Electrical Contracting Products. “The quality of the entries is extraordinary. Every product category promises to be hotly contested.”

Electrical Contracting Products is published by Cygnus Business Media and reaches more than 40,000 medium to large electrical contractors each month, focusing exclusively on products purchased and installed by electrical contractors.

The INNOVATION Awards is the latest in a string of honors for Dexter + Chaney and Forefront.
In 2004, Dexter + Chaney earned recognition for the company’s size and growth rate and Forefront’s capabilities in eight separate competitions sponsored by trade associations and trade and local media. Those included the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA), Associated General Contractors (AGC), Construction Executive magazine and Deloitte (international audit, tax and financial advisory firm).

More than 1,000 construction companies throughout the United States use Dexter + Chaney’s Forefront Construction Management Software. Forefront includes 30 integrated modules that handle project management, construction accounting, service management, human resources, document imaging, remote connectivity and data sharing. Companies that use Forefront report they have improved profitability and have grown their businesses more than 300 percent without adding accounting staff.

Forefront placed first overall in the Job Costing/Accounting/Payroll Applications category of the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) 2004 Information Technology Survey for the Construction Industry, fifth edition. Dexter + Chaney also finished first in service-management software for the specialty-trades category. More than 3,500 total users make use of Forefront’s Document Imaging component, which addresses a typically painful problem for contracting firms: giving management, office staff and project managers the fast access they need to important documents like AP invoices, change orders, payroll timecards, contracts and others.
