Dexter + Chaney
to Showcase Newest Version of Its Forefront ® Construction
Suite at NECA 2006
SEATTLE , September 12,
2006: Dexter
+ Chaney will showcase the newest version of its Forefront ® Construction
Suite at NECA 2006, October 8-10 at the John B. Hynes Convention
Center in Boston (booth #731). Version 12 offers hundreds of
new features, including a SQL database structure, the ability
to track meeting minutes within Project Management and a "Google-like" search
capability in its Document Imaging software. Version 12 also
integrates Forefront with Microsoft Outlook.
Forefront Version 12 is based on the highly scalable SQL database
platform, an excellent tool for organizing and retrieving data
that benefits construction companies of all sizes as they grow.
With SQL, Forefront users enjoy fast processing and data retrieval
and excellent security features.
The meeting minutes enhancement to Forefront Project Management
offers easy tracking of meeting attendees, task assignments,
proposed change orders and other items resulting from weekly
or monthly job meetings. This feature can also track job punchlist
items and create job start-up and close-out task lists.
Users can 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.
The Forefront Tasks feature integrates Forefront and Microsoft
Outlook, offering a simple solution for creating roadmaps to
execute step-by-step processes. Each step in a process links
to the corresponding screen in Forefront. Forefront Tasks is
ideal for walking users through the creation of regular Job Cost
projections or procedures such as month-end closing because users
can actually execute each step of the task directly from the
reminder. About Dexter+Chaney
