Dyadem Named Tech Awards Circle Winner for Second Consecutive Year

Toronto – July 16, 2010 – Dyadem today announced that it has been selected as a winner in two categories of the Tech Awards Circle.  Dyadem has won bronze in the SMB Software category and President and CEO Kevin North took gold in the Executive of the Year category.  Dyadem’s enterprise software has allowed global organizations to reduce injuries, asset and production loss, and product and process failures.  During Mr. North’s tenure as CEO, Dyadem has grown revenue year-over-year, and he has led the company to multiple awards for growth, marketing, innovation and entrepreneurship.

“Despite overwhelmingly strong competition, Dyadem exhibited true industry excellence to be recognized among the top of the Tech Awards Circle,” said Kevin Anderson, awards program coordinator.  “Our judges were pleased at the level of submissions from all the vendors entering this year’s competition, so to be named a winner of this prestigious award is a testament to the quality and innovation unrivaled in the high tech community.”

These awards follow Dyadem being named in June as one of Canada's fastest growing companies by PROFIT magazine and as the 2010 Corporate IT Hero by the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC).  It also follows Kevin North's recognition as an upcoming finalist for Ernst & Young’s 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.  Dyadem was also honored this week by being recognized in three distinct categories in the International Business Awards for Most Innovative Company of the Year in North America, Marketing Department of the Year, and Executive of the Year in North America for Dyadem’s President and CEO, Kevin North.
