Orrcon Steel has won the Australian Business Award for Best Software Product in the 2011 Awards.
The software awarded was the Section Translation Guide (STG) www.sectiontranslation.com.au , an internet based software.
The award recognises software products that demonstrate product superiority offering a point of difference from their competitors. This includes operating systems, development tools, applications and utilities.
Dario Beccia — senior Project Engineer with Orrcon Steel, has guided the development of this Australian first, internet based service.
“The STG will allow structural design engineers and architects to assess the use of hollow sections to replace open sections with just a click of a mouse - providing numerous benefits on top of the simplicity of choice.
“The STG is a free resource to industry, which will introduce more structural designers to Orrcon Steel,” said Beccia.
Now in its sixth year, the Australian Business Awards program recognises organisations that demonstrate the core values of business excellence, product excellence, corporate responsibility, sustainability and commercial success in their respective industries.
A total of 103 recipients were honoured from the 928 organisations that participated in the 2011 Awards.
Tara Johnston, program director of the Australian Business Awards, said: “Australian businesses continue to adapt business processes, invest in product development and develop dynamic e-business initiatives that increase productivity and quality standards for all.”
