BELLEVUE, WA – Intelligent Results, a leading provider of predictive analytics solutions, has been honored recently with several awards including Investors’ Choice by VentureWire; commendation as Innovation of the Year from The Banker, a leading financial magazine in the UK; and selection as a 2004 Venture All Star by the Investment Forum, a non-profit organization that promotes promising new companies to the business and investment community.
The Investors’ Choice awards are presented to those companies that are judged “most likely to succeed” at the annual Enterprise Outlook conference. The award recognizes start-up technology companies that are best positioned for long-term success in the business software and services industry. VentureWire, which produced Enterprise Outlook, is a news service covering venture capital and high-tech startups that is published by Dow Jones Newswires.
“The Investors’ Choice winners show strong potential to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the enterprise market,” said Richard A. Shaffer, Editor-in-Chief of VentureWire.
The Banker received nearly 1000 entries for just 41 categories for their 2004 Technology Awards. Intelligent Results was “Highly Commended” within the Innovation of the Year category. The Banker Technology Awards recognize best of breed, innovation and success in financial technology. Their goal has been to highlight those vendors, large and small, who have made a real contribution to advancing shareholder value and customer service within financial institutions over the past 12 months.
“Intelligent Results’ IR Analytics solution has been highly commended in the Innovation of the Year category for its impressive ability to analyze both structured and unstructured data,” said Parveen Bansal, Technology Editor for The Banker. “Their mixed-data modeling and scoring application suite is a first for the financial services industry enabling them to better predict customer behavior in collections, recovery and attrition applications and thereby more accurately target accounts with the optimal strategy.”
The 2004 Venture All Star companies were selected over a four-week period from more than 125 nominations by a forty member Selection Committee comprised of representatives from the region’s top venture capital funds.
In order to be selected, companies had to demonstrate the ability to follow in the footsteps of the region’s most successful growth business such as Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Amazon.com and Immunex. Companies were evaluated on their growth achievements to date, market potential, management strength and financial backing.
“Intelligent Results has proven its ability to be a leader and is well positioned to prosper in the recovering economy,” said Nathan McDonald, Managing Director of the 2004 Venture All Stars and Investment Forum. “We’re honored to produce the fourth-annual Venture All Stars event to honor and promote companies with outstanding growth potential.”
“These recent awards are further validation of Intelligent Results’ continued growth and success as an emerging leader in predictive analytics solutions,” said Kelly Pennock, President and CEO. “We are pleased to be recognized as a leader from these various institutions.”
