Search Capability in Dexter + Chaney's Forefront ® Document Imaging Helps Contractors Find Documents InstantlySEATTLE, June 26, 2006 - Contractors can find documents instantly in Dexter + Chaney's Forefront ® Construction Suite construction management and accounting software, using a search capability in its Document Imaging module. Users perform a "Google-like" search to locate individual documents in their entire Forefront file system by entering any word or group of words. Forefront instantly finds those words, lists each document that contains them, and provides a link to open each one. Every document in the Forefront database is automatically "read;" all text is indexed similar to the method deployed by Google and other search engines to read and index context on the Internet. Forefront Document Imaging-integrated with accounting, job costing, and even project management software-incorporates documents electronically into the construction company's workflow. It addresses a typically painful problem for construction companies: giving management, operations and the financial department the fast access they need to important documents like AP invoices, change orders, payroll timecards, contracts, and others. More than 7,000 total users make use of Forefront's Document Imaging. "Construction companies store thousands of documents in Forefront Document Imaging," said John Chaney, Dexter + Chaney president and co-founder. "The search capability is our response to customer requests for an efficient method to find the documents they need. Customers tell us that Forefront Document Imaging has really helped their businesses-the search capability just makes it better."
