SiliconExpert selected as a Finalist for EDN's 20th Annual Innovation Awards
Boston, MA - : SiliconExpert Technologies, the leading provider and innovator of electronic parts data and applications, has been selected from hundreds of nominations to be a finalist for this year's EDN Innovation Awards. SiliconExpert's newly released BOM Manager V4, reviewed and selected by EDN judges, enables companies to manage their bills of materials and scrub & edit thousands of parts in seconds. In addition to performing data maintenance functions, the tool also provides proactive alerts for entire corporate libraries with component lifecycle change alerts, datasheets, RoHS status, PCNs and cross reference data.
In order to be recognized, nominees must have demonstrated innovation that resulted in a significant advance in technology and/or product development during the past 12 months. "We received an impressive number of submissions for our 2009 Innovation Awards program, indicating that innovation was alive and well despite the economically challenging year," said Rick Nelson, EDN editor-in-chief. "In the EDA: Front-End Simulation and Database Tools category, SiliconExpert's BOM Manager V4 was one of the outstanding submissions our editors chose. And now, it's up to the readers to determine which product in each category they find most compelling."
During the months of February and March, EDN's worldwide audience of electronic engineers and engineering managers will use an online ballot to select the ultimate winners from among the finalists. EDN's editorial staff also take part in determining the final winners. We encourage you to visit http://www.edn.com/info/2259-20th_annual_EDN_Innovation_Awards.php to review each of the nominees.
