Dexter + Chaney Earns ‘Innovation Award’ From Electrical Contracting Products

 
 
SEATTLE, October 11, 2005: Dexter + Chaney has earned an INNOVATION Award from Electrical Contracting Products magazine for its Forefront® Construction Management Software. The competition “recognizes outstanding companies whose products or services have best responded to the $82 billion electrical contracting market’s challenges by offering creative and innovative ideas,” according to the magazine.

Divided into 16 product categories, the 2005 INNOVATION Awards were judged by a panel of professional electrical contractors who evaluated more than 120 finalists on six criteria: innovation, ease of use, cost effectiveness, quality contribution, maintainability and productivity improvements. Dexter + Chaney tied for the award in the software category.

John Chaney, Dexter + Chaney president and co-founder, shared credit for the award with Forefront’s electrical-contractor customers. He noted that many of the 840 new functions and features in the latest version of Forefront resulted from customer suggestions.

Forefront Version 12 offers a SQL database structure, an excellent tool for organizing and retrieving data that benefits construction companies of all sizes as they grow. It also features a Web Portal that gives a construction company’s employees and customers access to critical data and functions in Forefront—including payroll and equipment entry as well as customer service—from any computer with an Internet connection.

“Our customers rely on Forefront to manage their operations,” Chaney explained. “Their suggestions for Forefront are vital to their success—and ours.”
