Deacom, Inc. of Wayne is one of the regional companies being considered for a 2014 Voltage Award from SmartCEO Magazine.

The Voltage Awards recognize the accomplishments of the region’s leading technology innovators and implementers and the impact the technology sector will have on economic growth. Deacom, which produces enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for process manufacturing companies, was chosen as a finalist for its creative vision, strong leadership and innovative solutions.

“We truly appreciate this acknowledgment of our ongoing commitment to the innovation and evolution of our product,” Jay Deakins, president of Deacom, said. “This recognition celebrates the remarkable team that drives our continued advancement and achievement.”

Deacom is one of a few finalists selected by an independent committee of local business leaders, and will be profiled in the magazine’s May/June issue. SmartCEO magazine, which has 50,000 readers, will hold an awards reception in May.

“It’s no secret that the evolution of technology is what drives business forward,” Rick Crane, regional president of SmartCEO Media said. “These companies are pushing the limits of innovation — streamlining processes, finding efficiencies and discovering the next great product. Sharing their stories is a humbling experience as these companies are the catalysts for our region’s growth and prosperity.”

Deacom, Inc. is the producer of DEACOM, a complete ERP software system for process manufacturers with difficult-to-handle requirements. The company aims to make complex issues simple by streamlining manufacturing business processes to maximize productivity and profitability.
