Cincinnati's iSqFt
Garners Prestigious Honors

CINCINNATI – July 15, 2005 – Cincinnati-based iSqFt has received recognition from two prestigious organizations through their awards programs. In recent weeks, the firm was singled out by both the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program and the Association for Corporate Growth’s Deal Maker Awards program.

“It is truly an honor to accept these two awards on behalf of all of the hard-working people at iSqFt,” stated iSqFt chief executive office Dave Conway. “These awards are further indicators of the value that we have been able to provide to our clients and partners, and they also recognize the extraordinary effort that all of our employees put forth on a daily basis.”

Conway was recognized with the 2005 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the South Central Ohio and Kentucky Region in the Technology Category. iSqFt was named as a recipient of the 2005 Deal Maker Awards presented by the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth.

Ernst & Young presents its Entrepreneur of the Year awards annually to the most successful and innovative entrepreneurial business leaders in 31 regions nationwide, and more than 30 countries around the world. Regional winners in nine separate categories are honored each June for their vision, leadership, and ability to grow successful businesses that help sustain the economy. Each of the regional winners is automatically considered for the national awards that are unveiled in November.

The Association for Corporate Growth annually presents its Deal Maker Awards to recognize significant achievements of corporations, entrepreneurs, and financiers in their pursuit of growth through acquisition, joint venture, and divestiture transactions. iSqFt was recognized in part due to three separate acquisitions in 2004 that extended the company’s offerings and gave the firm a stronger presence nationally.
