"The Constructech Vision Awards honors companies that have realized the advantages of applying modern software technologies to their everyday businesses," says Mike Carrozzo, editor of Constructech Magazine. "Cochran’s implementation of its Project Executive software to help track current projects and historical data is a great example of this trend.
