Executive Dashboard Module From Foundation Software Wins 2009 Most Innovative Product Award at World of Concrete
March 2, 2009, Cleveland – For Immediate Release: Foundation Software, producer of FOUNDATION® For Windows® (FOUNDATION) construction accounting, project management and scheduling software, announced today that its new reporting module, the Executive Dashboard, has been selected as a 2009 Most Innovative Product (MIP) Award winner at World of Concrete, the commercial construction industry’s largest annual event. With more than 65,000 professionals attending and nearly 1,700 companies exhibiting, the Executive Dashboard earned the Experts’ Choice MIP award for the top product in the Business Tools category. Winners of the contest, sponsored by Hanley Wood Business Media, will be announced in the April/May issue of CONCRETE & MASONRY CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS magazine.
Held every year at World of Concrete, the MIP contest was introduced in 2001 to showcase new products that promise to boost productivity, efficiency and quality in construction. Winners are selected based on votes received by show attendees and a panel of industry experts. This is the second MIP win for Foundation Software; in 2005, FOUNDATION received the Experts’ Choice MIP award in the Project Information category.
“For a technology company, it’s incredibly rewarding to receive recognition for innovation,” remarked Fred Ode, CEO and Chairman of Foundation Software. “Since 1985, our focus has always been construction software, and it’s the feedback we get from contractors that drives our research and development efforts,” he said.
The Executive Dashboard adds a new dimension to FOUNDATION’s comprehensive reporting capabilities. Featuring easy-to-read charts and graphs, it allows users to quickly view and analyze high-level data and then drill down into additional reports for more detailed information.
With the Executive Dashboard, FOUNDATION users are able to see – on one screen – a summary of their latest job cost, accounts payable, accounts receivable and other financial data. The dashboard also features a scrolling ticker that runs across the bottom of the screen and contains key aggregate data.
Foundation Software Programmer/Analyst Susan Halke developed the Executive Dashboard using the latest object-oriented development language. It also utilizes the same powerful database technology – Microsoft SQL server – shared by all modules within FOUNDATION® for Windows®.
In addition to the Executive Dashboard module, there are many other powerful modules available to users of FOUNDATION construction accounting software. The base system includes: Job Costing, Payroll, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Purchase Order/Subcontract, and CPA Audit/Review; plus it features the built-in Genie Series of custom report writers and import/export designers. Optional add-on modules include: Project Management, Scheduling, Equipment, Time & Material, Inventory, Fixed Assets, Unit Price Billing, Consolidated General Ledger, and ConversionQuick Data Integration.
