"We're honored to be chosen again as a Jolt finalist," said Bob Zurek, chief technology officer, EnterpriseDB.

We're pleased that the judges have also recognized the transformative effect we're having on the enterprise database marketplace."

"This year's Jolt finalists, including EnterpriseDB Advanced Server, represent the most innovative tools in software development," said Amber Ankerholz, conference manager, Dr. Dobb's Events. "In the next round of the process, the judges will take an in-depth look at the finalists, 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, or that have solved a nagging problem in their product space."

The Jolt Product Excellence Awards ceremony will take place on Mar. 5, 2008 at the 21st annual Software Development Conference and Expo West at the Santa Clara Convention Center. More information about the award can be found at www.joltawards.com.
