Digg This!

(Boston, MA, February 25, 2004) - SYS-CON Media, the world's number one i-technology magazine publisher, announced today the results of its latest Readers' Choice Awards Program, commonly referred to as the "Oscars of the Software Industry," recognizing excellence in the software, solutions, or services provided by the industry's top vendors.

The SYS-CON Media Readers' Choice Awards Program has become the most-respected industry awards program of its kind, with simultaneous competitions driven by the readers of six market-leading SYS-CON magazines, JDJ, LinuxWorld Magazine, Web Services Journal, .NET Developer's Journal, XML-Journal, and ColdFusion Developer's Journal. LinuxWorld Magazine awards were announced at LinuxWorld Conference in New York last month, and could be viewed at www.LinuxWorld.com.

All SYS-CON Media Readers' Choice Award recipients are selected through reader-submitted nominations, followed by online voting. The polls were open for just under a year, from March 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003. As just one example, more than 15,000 JDJ readers cast their votes.

The list of companies receiving this year's awards reads like a "Who's Who" of the most active and enterprising players in the i-technology space - from software and hardware development to technical publishing. Among the award winners are Altova, Apple, BEA Systems, Borland, Computer Associates, Compuware, Crystal Decisions, the Eclipse Consortium, Fiorano, IBM, InstallShield, JetBrains, JBoss, Macromedia, Microsoft, Oracle, Prentice-Hall, Quest, Software AG, Sun Microsystems, WebObjects, and Wiley Publishing.

"The purpose of our Readers' Choice Awards program is to raise awareness of and support for first-class products, services, and solutions within the business and technology communities," said Fuat Kircaali, founder and CEO of SYS-CON Media. "These Readers' Choice Awards reflect the activism and engagement of our readers, and the high level of participation by the industry's top vendors. We look forward to extending the program in 2004 to our new magazines in addition to our current titles."

 

"SYS-CON's editors-in-chief, distinguished international advisory boards, and editorial/technical support staff applaud all of today's 292 finalists and winners on their achievement in gaining recognition in our Readers' Choice Awards Program," said Jeremy Geelan, group publisher of SYS-CON Media. As Geelan announced the winners and finalists in each category live on SYS-CON Radio at the Edge 2004 East Conference & Expo (http://sys-con.com/edge2004), he commented, "Our dedicated readers are personally, professionally, and often passionately involved in the i-technology front line. Their recognition is hard to win, and is thus all the more valuable when - like this - it is given in an open competition."

The full Awards results will appear in the March issues of the five magazines concerned: JDJ, .NET Developer's Journal, Web Services Journal, XML-Journal, and ColdFusion Developer's Journal.
