SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adaptiva, an award-winning provider of IT systems management solutions, today announced it is a recipient of Red Herring's Top 100 Americas Award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from the North American business region. Recipients were announced last night at the Red Herring Awards Ceremony in Santa Monica.
Red Herring's Top 100 Americas list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, salesforce.com, YouTube and eBay would change the way we live and work.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the Top 100 most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across North America. The nominees were evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy and integration into their respective industries. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Americas.
"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Adaptiva embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Adaptiva should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
