InterSystems` universal integration platform Ensemble was named Product of the Year at the recent Information Management Awards held in London.
Ensemble enables fast integration of existing applications, and rapid composite application development of new functionality.
InterSystems won the award ahead of 49 other shortlisted entries, encompassing sectors ranging from mobile communications to software security and from telecoms to document management.
Now in their ninth year, the Information Management Awards are the premier European recognition of excellence and innovation in the management of business information. The blue-riband Product of the Year award is given to the contender which - in the opinion of an independent judging panel of more than 40 leading industry observers - represents the best information management product overall.
Commenting on the award, Mike Fuller, InterSystems UK director of marketing, says: "Ensemble delivers integration projects with speed based on superior technology. We are honoured that our development team`s insight and skill in building this market-leading integration platform has achieved such important industry recognition."
Roger Gibbons, MD of award organiser Elan Conferences, comments: "The outstanding overall quality of this year`s entries demonstrates that many companies have achieved significant business benefits through the development and deployment of pioneering technological solutions. Award-winners deserve all the accolades they will receive from being publicly acknowledged as industry leaders."
"It is the only application integration platform to incorporate the functionality of integration and application servers, a high-performance database, and a unified development and management environment in a single, architecturally consistent product," says Henry Adams, country manager for InterSystems South Africa. "Ensemble`s efficient design enables it to deliver integration projects from simple to complex, typically three times quicker and at half the cost of other integration technology."
The product is proving popular in a range of markets around the world, particularly in healthcare, finance, telecommunications and governments - especially where innovation along with reliability and scalability are required. InterSystems` business model favours partnerships with consultants, systems integrators and application partners, allowing it to focus on technology innovation and customer service excellence.
