Acknowledgment of Innovation

DB2 9 (formerly known as Viper) won the 2007 Codie "Best Database Management Solution" award. This is an acknowledge of great innovation. A techie's view of technology often points to innovative software as the Codie is the only "peer-recognition" award (which includes competitors).


A little bit about Codie from Wikipedia.

"The CODiE awards is a yearly award issued by the Software and Information Industry Association for excellence in software development primarily among its members.

Since its inauguration, the Codie Awards program has attempted to showcase the software and information industry's products and services and to honor excellence for corporate achievement and philanthropic efforts. It is the only peer-recognition awards program of the software industry, providing the opportunity for companies to earn the praise of their competitors.

The name "Codie" is derived from the word "code", the instructions making up a computer program."
