Lancaster, PA, 6/29/04 – “The All-Star awards salute the best of the best--the most outstanding among all products that earned five-star ‘Highly Recommended’ ratings from Cadalyst Labs,” said Sara Ferris, Cadalyst’s editor-in-chief. “The ‘Editors' Wow!’ awards come from the much larger pool of products introduced or upgraded during the first six months of the year. This is an opportunity to highlight products that appear in the online Product Showcase as well as those we see at industry events. We base our selections primarily on the ‘Wow!’ factor: Is the product innovative? Distinctive compared with others on the market? Does it solve problems creatively?

“If there's a theme to this year's intriguing new products, it's knowledge capture or management. Before you can reuse data, you must first capture it, then be able to find it when there's an opportunity to use it again. In addition, many thousands of engineers are expected to retire in the next decade, taking with them centuries of accumulated knowledge and experience,” said Ferris.

KollabNet is proud to have been selected by Cadalyst, a leading engineering automation publication, for this significant recognition. “Market recognition of our innovation means a great deal to us,” said Dr. Joel Orr, Kollabnet’s VP of business development. “We are committed to delighting our customers, and this award is a testimony that we are on the right track.”
