It’s another great day for everyone on the BigCommerce team – we’ve just gotten word that BigCommerce has been nominated as a finalist in the 2010 Codie awards for best software as a service offering! You can see our nomination details on the Codies website here.
If you’ve never heard of the Codie awards before, here’s a little blurb about them:
The CODiE awards is a yearly award issued by the Software and Information Industry Association for excellence in software development the software industry. Since its inauguration, the CODiE Awards program has attempted to showcase the software and information industry’s products and services and to honor excellence for corporate achievement and philanthropic efforts. It is the only peer-recognition awards program of the software industry, providing the opportunity for companies to earn the praise of their competitors.
Being nominated as one of five finalists in the software as a service category alongside companies like Eloqua and YouSendIt really shows not only how well BigCommerce is doing in the market but also how software has evolved over the last 10 or so years. Previous winners in this category include SalesForce.com and Google, so we’re in good company.
The nomination process is quite lengthy and involves multiple rounds of judging and product demonstrations over a period of 6 or so months, so we’re glad the judges were able to see what an important contribution BigCommerce has made to SaaS as a product category.
The winner will be announced shortly, so stay tuned – we’ve got our fingers crossed!
