2007 Products of the Year Awards kick-off
[by Kathryn Marquis]
kmarquis@techtarget.com

Filtering through data management and business intelligence software,
and trying to distinguish the best from the mediocre, can be a data
professional's nightmare. Fortunately, SearchDataManagement.com is
here to help. We're commencing our annual search for the best
products on the market. Our 2007 SearchDataManagement.com Products of
the Year Awards will evaluate product nominations in the following
categories:

** Business intelligence
** Data integration platforms
** Data warehouses
** Data quality and stewardship

A panel of industry experts will judge the four product categories
and winners will be those products exhibiting excellence in
innovation, performance, ease of integration into environment, ease
of use and manageability, functionality, pricing/value, and service
and support. Winning products will be announced on
SearchDataManagement.com in January 2008 and will receive a logo to
be used in promotional and advertising materials.

Starting today, we are seeking nominations from YOU -- whether you're
a data professional, consultant, analyst or software vendor. To be
eligible for nomination, a product must have been shipped or
significantly upgraded between September 30, 2006 and October 1,
2007. For previously available products, the upgrade must incorporate
major new features, designed to meet new or evolving needs in the
marketplace.

To nominate a product, simply fill out and submit the Products of the
Year nomination form before November 9, 2007.
** Products of the Year nomination form:

Let us do all the work. Just nominate what you think is an
outstanding example of new and innovative technology in the data
management market -- and we'll do all the rest.

Happy nominating!
Kathryn
