Codie Awards 2008

If you didn't knew that already, I have to tell you that the Codie Awards is a yearly award issued by the Software and Information Industry Association for excellence in software development, primarily among its members. Established in 1986, the Excellence in Software Awards program became the Codie Awards in 1993, and now I just found out the results of this year's edition...


Ken Wasch, SIAA president, said "What I think is most gratifying is the Codie awards are a [great] leveler and smaller companies have as much chance to win as large companies," and it's enough to say that Red Hat, Adobe Systems and Salesforce.com, together with "newbies" such as SightSpeed got back home with prizes.

But let's cut the talking and see highlights of this year's winners list, shall we? Here we go...

* Asset management -- Express Metrix with its Express Software Manager
* Business Productivity -- Jigsaw, Jigsaw.
* Collaboration solution -- Adobe, Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional
* Communication Solution -- SightSpeed, SightSpeed 6.0
* Content Management -- Clickability, Clickability On-Demand Web Content Management Platform
* Data Security -- Absolute Software, Computrace Complete
