FORMation mg Wins 2001 Midrange Technology SHOWCASE Product Excellence Award for EliteFORM400™ Two Years in a Row.

New Orlean, Lousiana (May 13, 2001) – FORMation mg’s flashFORM400™ product has been voted the best product in the FORMS and CHECKS category in the 2001 Midrange Technology SHOWCASE Product Excellence Awards (PEA) recognition program. The award recognizes products that demonstrate quality features, innovative design, and exceptional value. All products that are nominated and receive PEA recognition are designed for use with the IBM iSeries (formerly AS/400) brand computers.

Selection of the top products was accomplished with an online voting process that eliminated all possibilities of hanging chads or dimpled ballots. "We believe the opinions and judgments of the iSeries and AS/400 users are the best test of how a product performs," said David Uptmor, publisher of Midrange Technology SHOWCASE. "When a company wins a Product Excellence Award it shows that a very critical audience has responded in a positive fashion to a product that is needed and a service which that company delivers. A Product Excellence Award says this company has made a lot of customers happy."

This year the PEA presentations were made in conjunction with a reception at the World Trade Center’s Top of the Mart in New Orleans. More than 250 vendor representatives were in attendance. Winners were selected in 45 categories that included hardware and software solutions for the well-known IBM midrange computer that has enjoyed a noteworthy reputation in the small to medium sized business market for many years. The annual awards have been recognizing top information technology products in this niche since 1997.

Janet Rutkowski, spokesperson for FORMation mg conveys, "All of us here at FORMation thank our customers for the award, as their votes say to us and the entire midrange industry, "this product deserves recognition."" says Janet, "It’s nice to know our customers are satisfied, and that we provide a solution for the challenges they encounter on a daily basis."
