Now in their 22nd year, CODiE Awards recognize superiority in the marketplace through a unique combination of journalist and peer review. This year over 1,200 products were nominated in over 70 categories. Finalists in the CODiE Awards are determined after exhaustive evaluation by a judging panel made up of representatives from the software and information industry trade press, mainstream technology writers, analysts, consultants and subject matter experts. To determine CODiE Award winners, judging scores are combined on a 50/50 basis with votes from SIIA member companies, making the CODiE Awards the only peer-reviewed awards program of its kind.
