Beaverton, Oregon – April 28, 2008 — Axium, a leading developer of accounting and project management software for architectural and engineering firms (A/E), announces that multiple clients have been recognized for their overall business performance on the 2007 PSMJ Circle of Excellence list. Firms comprising the list were rated on thirteen benchmarks on various aspects of business operations including, cash flow, overhead control, business development, project performance, staff utilization and overall profitability.

“We are extremely pleased to have so many clients attain a level of success that is recognized by PSMJ,” said Cathy Mills, Axium Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. “To have 20% percent of the best performing firms using Axium’s software is a testament to the software’s ability to improve communication, efficiency, productivity and profitability.”

Firms included in the PSMJ Circle of Excellence are determined by the weight of each firm’s ranking in all of the thirteen benchmarks gathered from PSMJ’s Financial Performance Survey. Based on the rankings from the survey results, the top performers are identified not by firm revenue, profitability or size, rather by the best overall business performance.

To recognize the firms that made the Circle of Excellence list, PSMJ is holding a conference highlighting the business practices of these outstanding firms. The conference is May 8-9, 2008, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference will focus on helping A/E/C firms win more work, develop stronger client relationships, attract and keep exceptional employees, and how to keep overhead and expenses low.
