The CODiE Awards are the software industry's most prestigious and only peer-recognized awards. For more than 30 years, the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has distributed CODiE Awards in an ever-growing number of categories. With focus on innovation, education and business application, the CODiE Awards represent a key way for any software company to validate its market viability and industry leadership. Avangate has won multiple CODiE Awards in the Subscription Management and eCommerce & Billing categories.
The Avangate contest winners will need to submit their own official CODiE Award nomination on the SIIA website and conduct CODiE Award demos for the competition judges.
SIIA CODiE offers more details on the 2017 CODiE categories, award timeline and nomination requirements. Avangate is not an official sponsor of the CODiE Awards and is only sponsoring individual applicants, who must complete their own CODiE Award applications and demos.
Winners of the Avangate CODiE sponsorship will be announced by January 25, 2017 and nominations will have to be completed by February 3, 2017 directly on the CODiE website.
