FRANCISCO, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CMP Media's Software
Development magazine today announced the finalists for this year's
Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards. The 89 finalists
in 14 categories were chosen by a team of Software Development
editors, columnists, and industry gurus. For the past 15 years, the
Software Development Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity
Awards have been presented annually to showcase products that have
"jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of
creating software faster, easier, and more efficient. Jolt Cola,
the fabled soft drink quaffed by software developers for sustenance
during project development marathons, sponsors the awards
presentation. "Our twenty Jolt judges -- leaders in the software
development field -- have selected 89 impressive finalists from
hundreds of nominations," commented Software Development Technical
Editor Rosalyn Lum. "The number of nominations we received this
year was unprecedented and the process of narrowing down the
finalists was a massive, albeit exciting, task, with many more
products contending in each category. These products represent a
cross section of the most ground-breaking tools for every phase of
the software development lifecycle -- a testament that the spirit
of innovation is alive and well in the software development
sector." "In the next phase, we'll be 'looking under the hood' at
these select products, not only examining the standard criteria of
audience suitability, productivity, innovation, quality, ROI, risk,
and flexibility, but also seeking products that are: ahead of the
curve; universally useful; simple, yet rich in functionality;
redefine their product space; or solve a nagging problem that has
consistently eluded other products and books." The awards ceremony
will take place on March 15 at the Santa Clara Convention Center
during SD West 2006, which attracts more than 3,000 software
developers, renowned industry speakers, and press annually. Winners
will also be featured in the June 2006 issue of Software
Development magazine. One Jolt Award and three Productivity Awards
will be presented for each category. The finalists are: Books
