ANNANDALE, VA, May 28, 2009 – Contextware, Inc., provider of software solutions that improve organization performance and productivity, today announced it is a finalist for the 2009 CompTIA SoftwareCEO Software Innovation Awards. In their third year, the prestigious awards recognize innovative software products and new business models in eight different categories. Contextware is one of three finalists in the “Most Innovative General Business Software” category. Award winners will be announced in June.
Criteria for the Awards included:
- Scope – What business problem or opportunity does the software innovation address? What is the size of the problem/opportunity?
- Impact – What practical results, such as sales, users or profits, has the innovation had on a software product or on the software industry? The innovation must be new and have both a current and future impact.
- Novel – How does the innovation break with traditional ideas or processes?
Each year, SoftwareCEO/CompTIA forms a select panel of industry experts to evaluate the nominations received, and determine finalists and Software Innovation Award winners. These experts include analysts, consultants, writers and trade press, and subject-matter experts.
“It’s very rewarding to be recognized as innovators in the General Business category,” stated David Austin, President & COO of Contextware. “Our technology and solutions help solve a range of business issues related to employee performance and productivity improvement. As the Award criteria suggest, innovation by itself while interesting, isn’t truly special unless it provides a significant business impact and practical results – that is why as finalists we’re especially proud.”
