The awards were presented at the fifth annual users conference for ARCHIBUS/FM held in Boston, Mass.

Bethlehem Steel received the distinguished user award for the facility management automation practices and sustained leadership in its implementation to assist in the management of the Martin Tower complex, Bethlehem Steel's corporate headquarters, that also houses Dun & Bradstreet's Lehigh Valley workforce. Bethlehem also received an application excellence award which recognizes Bethlehem's innovative and multiple uses of the software to manage the complex and the services provided to the 2,600 people working there.

Thomas E. Kobrick, general manager, buildings operations and services, received the awards for Bethlehem Steel while attending the conference to present a paper on its implementation.
