The Edison Awards, celebrating its 25th year, has announced ViridiSTOR LLC as a finalist for the internationally renowned 2012 Edison Best New Product Awards. Since 1987, the Edison Awards have recognized ideas at the forefront of new products, services, marketing, design and innovation.
“Being selected as an Edison Award …validates the multiple values of our solution,” said Terry Mullin, president and CEO, ViridiSTOR LLC. “Through the reduction or elimination of paper at the 1.8 million events that take place annually in the U.S. alone, our solution provides unquestionable environmental savings, while reducing costs.”
The awards are named after inventor Thomas Alva Edison, whose extraordinary new product development methods and innovative achievements garnered him 1,093 U.S. patents and made him a household name around the world. The ballot of nominees for the Edison Best New Product Awards is judged by a panel of more than 3,000 individuals, including members of the Marketing Executives Networking Group (MENG), an organization of professionals and academics. The panel also includes professionals from the fields of product development and design, engineering, science, and education.
“The Edison Awards provide an exclusive platform for honoring innovation, recognizing innovators, and encouraging on-going innovation among today’s development teams, researchers, designers, intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs,” said Thomas Stat, steering committee chairman, 2012 Edison Awards. “We’re inspired by our 2012 finalists and delighted to have this opportunity to recognize and promote the outstanding accomplishments they represent.”
Winners of the gold, silver and bronze Edison Awards will be announced April 26, 2012 at the Capitale in New York. The annual Edison Awards program encompasses multiple events over a two-day period including an Opening Reception, Meet the Innovators Forum, Innovator’s Showcase, and the Awards Gala, where the awards will be presented.
