The InfoCommerce Models of Excellence highlight and profile industry exemplars to show how real revenue is generated by selling and distributing information online.

These "exemplars" are announced to the media and showcased at the annual DataContent conference, culminating in our annual Models of Excellence awards dinner held as part of the conference.

How does a product earn a Model of Excellence nomination? Consultants at Infocommerce Group regularly scan the infocommerce landscape to identify companies whose products -- both new and established -- that have important new business models, or offer technological innovation as Models of Excellence within the field of online information. Anyone, however, can nominate a product, and self nomination is encouraged.

To nominate a product, send an email to Roxanne Christensen. 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.
