"The Crossroads A-List Award winners have demonstrated successful results for early adopters. In a particularly difficult economy, these vendors have survived corporate budget cutting, delivered material business results and are poised to flourish in the years ahead," said Nina Lytton, president, Open Systems Advisors, Inc. "The vision and drive of the management and employees at Geac and its AMSI division propelled their company to an elite status as one of the 2003 recipients. The company's EVOLUTION eSite solution was highly regarded by the end users we interviewed and demonstrated its ability to dramatically change the current way of doing business for its industry."
The Crossroads A-List Awards signal that a provider has successfully combined three elements critical to mainstream adoption: strategic focus; a viable product or service offering and, most importantly, consistent business results for its customers. The Crossroads A-List Program, now in its tenth year, is extremely competitive and addresses today's most critical business priorities. To participate in the Crossroads A-List Program, a provider must offer:
An emerging product, technology, or service that is either new to the market or a significant enhancement to an existing offering
Four deployed Lighthouse customers willing to speak confidentially to the Crossroads research team about the business impact of the product, technology, or service. Lighthouse customers are early implementers of the candidate offerings.
"We are pleased to be recognized by an organization rewarding vendors who strive for excellence and provide services and solutions that demonstrate tangible end user benefits," said Mike Mullin, general manager, Geac AMSI division. "Not only does this award continue to demonstrate Geac's commitment to providing customers with the technology and support they require to create and maintain competitive advantage but it also represents yet another critical proof point in the company's planned growth strategy."
