An international award conferred on Allaire ColdFusion by the US` Software & Information Industry Association`s (SIIA), bodes well for e-commerce developers and applications in SA, according to Jeremy Matthews, MD of enterprise software solutions provider and Web-enablement specialist, Dax Data.
"It takes more than an out-of-the box Web site development application to create a successful e-commerce site. International developers, and their local counterparts, increasingly opt for a secure, cross-platform Web application server environment," he says.
Matthews believes SIIA`s Codie award for best application development product is indicative that the e-commerce solution provision market has begun to mature. "Companies have moved beyond the initial panicked reaction to competitors getting online first and are looking to their e-commerce initiatives as projects that will reduce costs, add-value and improve customer retention and satisfaction in the long run."
The award was presented at the 16th annual SIIA Codie Awards ceremony held earlier this month in San Diego, California. Phil Costa, senior product marketing manager believes the accolade validates ColdFusion`s leadership of the Web application market.
The 16th annual SIIA Codie Awards showcase the industry`s finest products and services of the past year, honouring excellence in the software and information industry. Designed to reward the best of the myriad of segments in this diverse marketplace, the Codie Awards promote and celebrate an industry on the move.
Every year, SIIA delivers a Codie Awards programme that is a tribute to ingenuity and creativity and spotlights the best in product development and excellence.
