Datatek Applications Acknowledged in New Jersey Commission on Science & Technology 2006-2007 Annual Report

April 9 – Somerset , NJ – Datatek Applications, a developer of custom network protocol products, announced today that it has received acknowledgment in the New Jersey Commission on Science & Technology 2006-2007 Annual Report. The story reported on its success in winning SBIR Phase I & II awards. The text from the report follows:

With a declining telecom industry and a 50 percent reduction in sales and staff, Datatek Applications was searching for new business opportunities for their network protocol products.

Datatek executives participated in the Commission's SBIR Training Sessions. It was here they gained the necessary information and coaching to pursue the $130,000 SBIR Phase I award they received from the US Army in December of 2005.

“The sessions are valuable because you have the opportunity to interact with people who have written winning proposals,” said Alan Stultz, Business Development Manager of Datatek. “You get to ask the ‘how to' questions.”

Attendees of the full day training sessions receive a free proposal review from the renowned Greenwood Consulting Group. It was this feedback that allowed Datatek to fine-tune their proposal into a successful Phase II award of $730,000 which they received in June 2006.

Their success with the SBIR program has encouraged Datatek to focus on continued work with the US Army and Ft. Monmouth . They hope to build on their SBIR success through increased usage of their IPv6 technology. “The training process was invaluable,” said Mr. Stultz. “I wish there were more small companies and entrepreneurs who took advantage of it.”

As a result of Datatek winning its SBIR Phase I & II awards from the U.S. Army, Datatek was awarded the New Jersey Small Business Development Centers Technology Commercialization 2006 Success Award.
