| WorkLight Selected as a Winner for The Red Herring 100 Europe '08 Red Herring has announced that WorkLight, an Enterprise 2.0 Company, is a recipient of the Red Herring 100 Europe, an award given to the top 100 private technology companies based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region each year. WorkLight provides secure and scalable server-based software that allows the enterprise to leverage consumer Web 2.0 tools and services that their employees currently use at home, for business purposes. By making popular tools such as personalized homepages (iGoogle, Microsoft Live, etc), social networks (e.g. Facebook), RSS, desktop widgets and gadgets, social bookmarking and other tools enterprise-grade, organizations increase employee productivity, gain a competitive edge and foster collaboration and mindshare among employees. Red Herring's lists of top private companies are an important part of the company's tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work. Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than hundreds ofprivate companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. To honor the CEOs of Red Herring 100 Europe companies, Red Herring has invited each CEO to present his or her company at its Red Herring Europe 2008 event. Scheduled for April 14-16, at the Westin Dragonara Resort, this intimate, three-day event is themed "Ahead of the Curve" and will explore how European firms are leading the charge in many technology sectors, gaining the competitive advantage, and driving entrepreneurial success in ways that create business opportunities for challengers and incumbents alike. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
