On May 6th it was announced that Collaborative Software Initiative has been recognized as the “Software Newcomer of the Year” by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) 2009. This award is presented to a new software or software services company whose product or service has the potential for significant impact on the industry, either through technological advancement or new business models. Now in its 24th year, the CODIE Awards program has raised the standard for excellence and serves as a prestigious representation on outstanding achievement and vision in the software and information industry.
I am honored and appreciative of this recognition of our business model. When we started this business we knew that collaboration on business applications was a natural evolution for the software industry. The open source community proved the collaborative model by creating Linux and key infrastructure products with global deployment. With all the social networking websites that are available today we knew people would begin to share their ideas and requirements for business applications that were not only dropped on them, like compliance, regulatory and industry standard issues, but they would also look at applications that they had written themselves or ones that they didn’t want to do internally in the first place. In this economic downturn we are finding collaboration and innovation in a variety of industries where people are trying to find a way to get their job done with less resources and budget so they are reaching out to us so they can team together to share costs, share risk, and share knowledge and get a high quality, well supported solution.
We value the recognition of the SIIA and promise to continue to raise the standard for excellence.
