9th February 2000 — Companies from around the world were recognized for their technology innovation and leadership during the "Best of EnterpriseVision Awards" recently held at the Ritz-Carlton Phoenix Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. The "Best of EnterpriseVision Awards" has been acknowledged as one of the information technology industry's leading honors — the only awards in the industry selected directly by the Integrator community. EnterpriseVision is produced by Vision Events, a Gartner Group, Inc. (NYSE: IT) company.
Winning products and companies were voted on by more than 60 systems integrators after previewing, reviewing and evaluating the latest technology in private boardroom appointments during EnterpriseVision Winter 2000, January 30 to February 1. These focused, confidential boardroom meetings are an integral part of the decision-making process that systems integrators undertake in order to select vendors whose products and programs lead the industry.
"It's really an honor for companies to win this award because it's voted on solely by their peers," said John Madden, event director for EnterpriseVision. "It's even more important than an award voted on by only a few panelists."
The winners of the latest "Best of EnterpriseVision Awards" were as follows:
Best Product Hardware — Intel Commerce Equipment
Best Product Software — PowerQuest
Best Channel Strategy — Hitachi Data Systems
Best Vendor — Palm Computing
