Tampa, Florida, USA, September 10, 2003: BST Global announced today its strategic partnership with the Environmental Financial Consulting Group (EFCG) to develop the most comprehensive CEO Information Technology Survey for design, engineering, environmental consulting and construction organizations. EFCG is an organization providing advisory services to environmental, geotechnical, transportation and infrastructure engineering and consulting firms, including financial and strategic advice, assistance with ownership transition, valuations and assistance in mergers and acquisitions.

“This unique CEO Information Technology Survey will benchmark A/E/C firms attending the 2003 EFCG CEO Conference along with firms selected from a database consisting of over 2000 national and international A/E/C firms,” says Mr. Allen Walker, Chief Operating Officer of BST Global.
“This survey will cover such key areas as I.T. capital spending, I.T. staffing and training issues, communication infrastructures, (Internet, LANs/WANs), perceived vs. real competitive advantage derived from I.T., as well as I.T. systems’ challenges and future trends.”

“ EFCG and BST Global have served the A/E/C market for many years. We believe in the importance of Information Technology strategies for the A/E/C industry. A properly developed and executed I.T. strategy can be a major contributor to long-term growth and profitability,” says Paul Zofnass, President of EFCG.
