Companies in the newsASIS selects 10 ASIS Accolades winners

ASIS International has selected its first 10 ASIS Accolades winners. ASIS said that ASIS Accolades is a new awards competition that recognizes the security industry’s most innovative new products, services, or solutions.

ASIS invited exhibitors at the ASIS International 55th Annual Seminar and Exhibits to submit new technology, product, or service solutions for evaluation and judging for the first annual Accolades competition. The winners will be recognized at ASIS 2009 event, held 21-24 September at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

A team of judges representing end users and experts in security technologies evaluated more than 130 entries before selecting the top 10 winners. ASIS Accolades are solutions oriented, not product specific. Accolades winners and their products/solutions will be highlighted, along with other new products on the Exhibits floor, during the Seminar’s “What’s New on the Floor” session, on Monday, 21 September, at 1:30 p.m.
