Press release July 07. Activate Technologies Achieves high recogonition as one of two finalists in coveted Software Innovation Award
Activate Technologies (http://www.activatelive.com) announced today that it is one of two finalists for the “Most Innovative Software for the Software Industry” award pulling ahead of an outstanding field of competitors.
The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), the leading trade association for the world’s information technology (IT) industry, announced today finalists for the inaugural CompTIA SoftwareCEO Software Innovation Awards. Award winners will be announced at Breakaway, CompTIA’s annual member conference July 31 through August 2 at the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.
"We are excited to be recognized by a distinguished panel of judges for an award that singles out innovation in the software industry. Innovation and inspiration are the foundation of our product suite and this award is a perfect affirmation of our vision of improved business user efficiency through simplification and logical resource allocation with our cost saving IT on demand solution” said Shaun Blackmore, CEO of Activate Technologies Ltd.
“As our growing list of satisfied customers will quickly tell you, before they discovered Activate they did not believe that there was any one software solution that could deliver the depth and breadth of IT Service Desk task management as our solution offers. Until now setting up new users, provisioning of new software or hardware, password resets or management of group lists and directories were inefficient manual tasks or a mixed assortment of point solutions. Activate consolidates each of those individual solutions and manages the process through the versatility and power of Microsoft Active Directory ™” adds Blackmore.
“SoftwareCEO’s annual Software Innovation Awards recognize products, ideas and business models that break with conventional software ideas and processes producing results that go well beyond marginal improvements on that which already exists. We judged the products on their Scope, Impact and Novel approach breaking away from traditional ideas or processes…” said David Sommer, Publisher and SoftwareCEO VP, E-Business & Software Solutions, CompTIA.
