SAN RAMON, CA, July 31, 2012 - In an effort to honor groundbreaking Technologies, Ventana Research has added an all new category to it’s prestigious annual Leadership Awards.

The awards recognize the pioneers that exemplify the advancements in technology driving change and value for organizations worldwide.
Ventana Research invites all vendors to nominate their technology to be considered for the awards.
