Avectra Selected by AlwaysOn as an OnDemand Top 100 Winner

Association management software innovator recognized for creating new opportunities in cloud computing and SaaS

McLean, VA (Vocus) April 9, 2010

Avectra, the leading provider of association management software, announced today that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnDemand Top 100 winners.

Inclusion in the OnDemand 100 signifies leadership amongst industry peers and recognizes game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. Avectra was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz.

Avectra and the OnDemand Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s OnDemand event on April 19, 2010, at Hewlett-Packard’s Worldwide Headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif.

“As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, analyze and share this information is becoming extremely challenging,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “We congratulate this year’s OnDemand 100 for providing the technology platforms and services needed to manage and leverage this new era of information complexity and overload.”

The OnDemand 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2010 list.

“Inclusion in this distinguished list confirms how innovative our on-demand association management software solutions are,” said Richard Davis, chief executive officer for Avectra. “While we’re honored by the recognition, we’re even more excited about how our technology creates success for our association clients.”

A full list of all the OnDemand Top 100 winners can be found on the AlwaysOn website.
