Acrodex receives NRC-ASTECH award for Innovation in Industrial Research

December 5, 2003 – Edmonton, Alberta - Acrodex, provider of technology driven business solutions, has been awarded the 2003 NRC/ASTech Innovation in Industrial Research Prize. Presented by the Alberta Science and Technology (ASTech) Leadership Foundation, this award honours businesses that have made a significant contribution to the science and technology community in Alberta.

The award-winning technology is judged on its sophistication, industrial applications, prospective commercial benefits, and its potential to impact Alberta. Acrodex's web-based suite of software, Arcspan™, was recognized for its capability to help organizations better manage all aspects of their service delivery by automating core business processes and integrating them internally and with clients, suppliers and partners.

"Acrodex has built its success on fundamental attributes like hands-on involvement, market intimacy, speed and agility," says Salma Rajwani, CIO of Acrodex. "Most importantly, we believe in exercising the courage to think big and the drive to tread in uncharted territory. Successful organizations need strength and resilience to think beyond today's solutions to anticipate upcoming market needs. Our spirit of innovation and the supportive environment in Alberta for science and technology research have helped us achieve a significant technical solution for Alberta business."

The Innovation in Industrial Research award is presented not only based on a business' innovative capability, but also on its experience and technical maturity in furthering the commercialization of sophisticated technology. Award recipients are selected by an independent panel of judges composed of professionals from the advanced technology, research and business communities. The prize is sponsored by the National Research Council of Canada, Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP).

Since early research and development starting in 1997, Arcspan has been developed into a full suite of business management applications that ranks among the top 25 products in the professional services automation sector. The product is now in the first stage of commercialization. Microsoft Corporation has recently approached Acrodex to partner with them to determine how to integrate Arcspan into Microsoft's new customer relationship management (CRM) product.
