"We received exceptional entries demonstrating true business impact, making the judging very competitive," says Mary Jo Nott, Executive Editor of the BeyeNETWORK. "Congratulations to the winning solutions for making an impact within their organizations and providing business intelligence to their internal and/or external customers."

Thanks to the Judges

The BeyeNETWORK thanks the judges for their time and attention to detail while evaluating a host of entries. The objectivity and expertise these judges provided was invaluable. Our gratitude to the following:

Lou Agosta, ACM
Richard Hackathorn, Bolder Technologies
Claudia Imhoff, Intelligent Solutions
David Loshin, Knowledge Integrity
Mark Madsen, Third Nature
William McKnight, Lucidity Consulting Group

Each entry was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 in five areas: financial return, impact on internal/external customers, business impact, strategic advantage and cutting-edge technology. Additionally, the judges were asked to rank their final choices. The point scores and rankings were tallied to determine the winners. Because of the number of quality submissions, multiple winners were chosen in numerous categories.
