Mountain View, CA – May 26, 2009 – Blue Vector today announced that the company has been named as one of three finalists in the “Company Achievement in Innovation” category of SoftwareCEO magazine’s 2009 Software Innovation Awards.

“SoftwareCEO’s annual Software Innovation Awards recognize our industry’s efforts and accomplishments in bringing innovative products and new business models to market,” said David Sommer, chief operating officer, CompTIA, and publisher of SoftwareCEO. “The companies selected as finalists for these prestigious awards are delivering real business value to customers with their products and services. We are pleased to recognize their achievements.”

“As computing networks spread to bring collaboration, and intelligence to our homes, buildings, and utility grids, we’ll need a way to monitor and control it all,” said Blue Vector CEO Mike Gardner. “From video networks to connected buildings, software that controls these systems must be designed to live throughout the network, and be easy to update as things change. That’s exactly what our distributed computing software was designed to do.”

SoftwareCEO’s annual Software Innovation Awards recognize products, ideas and business models that break with conventional software ideas and processes which produce results that go well beyond marginal improvements on that which already exists. Judged by a select panel of industry experts, finalists and award winners are evaluated on the following criteria:

• Scope of the innovation – What business problem/opportunity does the innovation address and what is the size of the problem/opportunity?
• Impact of the innovation on software or the software industry – What practical results (sales, users, profits, etc.) has the innovation had on a software product or the software industry? The innovation must be new and have both a current and future impact.
• Novelty of the innovation – How does the innovation break with traditional ideas or processes?

Winners of the 2009 SoftwareCEO Innovation Awards in the eight categories will be announced on June 18. SoftwareCEO is a resource-packed electronic newsletter and web portal built by software executives for software executives, and is a part of CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association. For 25 years, CompTIA has served as the voice of the world’s $3 trillion information technology industry.
