DMSi Receives Business Focus Award from Progress Software

Omaha, NE – During Progress Software Corporation’s Kick-Off Meeting for applications partners in January, DMSi Software was awarded the Progress Software Business Focus Award for Business Vision. DMSi received this award based on their foresight in recognizing a key marketing opportunity that leveraged a trend, resulting in measurable business success. A Progress partner since 1994, DMSi has achieved marked success by building Agility, their flagship windows-based program, from the ground up and their early adoption of the SaaS (Software as a Service) server-free option.

As the building material industry’s leading software partner, numerous companies have come to rely on Agility to achieve air tight inventory control, customer service excellence and dramatic efficiency/profit improvement. Additionally, DMSi software offers industry specific software through an Application Service Provider (ASP) or hosted environment. Agility SaaS simplifies technology, fixes IT costs and frees resources to focus on core business initiatives. By outsourcing, DMSi customers literally eliminate hardware and software components from their business and let someone else worry about them. Servers and other related hardware and software reside at a remote, secure, expertly maintained “Data Center.” To access the data center to conduct day-to-day business anywhere, SaaS customers only need is a PC with an Internet connection.

 “DMSi has always taken pride in utilizing innovative technology to help our customers achieve maximum profitability in the building materials industry,” said Jim Hassenstab, DMSi CEO. “Progress Software Corporation helps us in this endeavor by providing world class software development tools and technologies that we can leverage in building great software for our customers.”

According to Bob Palumbo, Vice President of Progress Software Corporation’s Worldwide Partner Program, “Progress Software Corporation is committed to the success of our partners and their customers. Each year Progress honors Application Partners that provide their customers with innovative products and solutions. The recipients of this year’s awards have developed products and solutions that help solve complex business issues of their customers worldwide.  Their dedication to the development of problem solving business applications is part of what makes the Progress Application Partner Community so strong.”
