Factiva Wins "Most Innovative Company" Award in First-Ever
International Business Awards(SM)
Factiva Also Named Finalist for "Best Sales Organisation"
London (March 4, 2004) - Factiva®, a Dow Jones and Reuters Company, has won an International Stevie Award for "Most Innovative Company" and was a finalist for the "Best Sales Organization" in the first-ever International Business Awards.
The International Business Awards are the first global, all-encompassing business awards program honouring great performances in the workplace.
The three components that enabled Factiva to win the "Most Innovative Company" category included its tunnel vision-focus on customer service, its state-of-the-art platform and technology, and its strategic partnerships with other innovative companies.
"Not only is it an honour to be selected for this prestigious award, it is an honour to be included with the other world-class organisations who were finalists," said Alan Scott, vice president of global marketing at Factiva. "This award is a testament to our dedicated employees who had the vision to create a next generation platform that allows Factiva's customers and strategic partners to easily integrate our unique services, in turn allowing them to innovate and make better decisions faster."
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word "crowned," the awards will be presented to winners at an awards dinner on Monday, March 22, in the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in New York City. The dinner will benefit the Global Business Coalition Against HIV/AIDS, and will be broadcast live on radio in the U.S.A., and via the Internet worldwide, by the BusinessTalk Radio Network.
Recipients of 67 International Stevie Award trophies were selected from among almost 500 nominations received from companies and individuals in more than 30 countries. Countries with at least one International Stevie winner each include Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, India, South Korea, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs selected International Stevie winners from among the Finalists, which were determined by volunteer judges around the world during two months of preliminary judging.
"We congratulate all Finalists and winners of the historic, first International Stevie Awards," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards, the organization that runs The International Business Awards. "Their stories of integrity, creativity, perseverance, humanity, and profitability will be rightly honoured during our gala awards dinner."
