Last night, the Content division of the Software & Information Industry Association held its annual CODiE Awards presentation. While the CODiEs had previously been awarded in the spring (in conjunction with the SIIA Software and Education divisions), this year the event was moved forward to align with the annual Information Industry Summit.
The CODiEs are awarded in fifteen categories. There were more than 100 products nominated, by more than 65 companies. Nominees are screened by a team of judges, who rate each product based on category-specific criteria. Finalists are named and the SIIA membership votes to select the final winners of each category.
The full list of winners is posted on the SIIA CODiE site; I'd like to note a few innovators here.
- Dow Jones Investment Banker won a CODiE in the Best Online Professional Financial Information Service category.
- The Best Video Content Aggregation Service was awarded to Reuters Insider
- HR.BLR.com was selected Best Online Government Information Service
- Collexis Reviewer Finder won for Best Solution Integrating Content into Workflow
And, without appearing too self-serving, I'd note that Alacra Pulse was awarded two CODiEs, one for Best Online Business Information Service and another for Best Online News Service. Alacra was one of only two companies to take home "matching bookends" (Dow Jones being the other).
Congratulations to all the winners.
Here are a few photos from the awards dinner.
