InfoCommerce Group's Models of Excellence Awards

The editors of InfoCommerce Report, working in conjunction with industry consultants at Infocommerce Group, regularly scan the infocommerce landscape to identify companies -- both new and established -- that have important new business models, exhibit best practices or offer technological innovation as Models of Excellence within the field of commercial database publishing. Anyone, however, can nominate a product, and self nomination is encouraged. Database content companies that qualify fall into one of these categories:

Product Innovation -- has developed an innovative new type of product or product format that has demonstrated success in the marketplace

Technological Innovation -- has developed a new technology or has made innovative use of an existing technology to power any significant aspect of its business.

New Business Models –- has developed a new approach to monetizing content on the Web or an entirely new product category.

To nominate a product, send an email to rchristensen@infocommercegroup.com. The selection process is rigorous and the large number of candidates create a high threshold for inclusion. There is no charge for becoming a Model of Excellence. Technology companies are not eligible for Models of Excellence, though they are encouraged to nominate clients who make use of their technologies.
