Infoteria Receives Prestigious Nikkei Software's "Editor's Choice" Award 
Its XML engine, iPEX, earns Japan's highest XML Award of the Year

 

BOSTON, MA and Tokyo, Japan— October 2, 2000 — Infoteria Corporation, a leading XML software development company, today announced in Tokyo that its high performance XML software engine, iPEX, received the Editor's Choice Award from the Nikkei Software Publishing Group. The Nikkei group of technology publications boasts a readership of 1.9 million spread between 14 computer-related publications, making it easily Asia's most influential technology publisher. Its prestigious annual Editor's Choice Awards, the most coveted software prize in Asia, are given to the companies that receive the most votes from its entire readership. The prize has been awarded annually since 1988.

"This prize is the direct outcome of the high fidelity relationships we enjoy with our customers. It makes it almost easy to write value-rich software when the likes of Nortel, or Hitachi, or NTT, or Broadvision are in the room with you as you code. This is the Oscars of software, and our development team won. We are thrilled to receive such an accolade!" said Timothy Browne, the president and co-CEO of Infoteria, Worldwide.

In announcing the award, Nikkei cites 1) Infoteria's leadership role in accelerating the XML adoption rate by corporate information systems (IS) departments, 2) iPEX's role as the industry's most advanced XML technology with the quickest lead time to developers and 3) iPEX's continued cross platform support, which today includes a multitude of operating systems such as Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Linux, Solaris, Macintosh, BeOS, and Windows CE.

IPEX 2.0, the latest version announced last month in Boston at the XML2000 conference, is the industry's most comprehensive XML development environment that includes a variety of libraries including an XML parser and an XSLT processor. Since its first release in early 1999, more than 100 companies have adopted iPEX for their B2B solutions.
