Company of the Year

A look back. It might also be interesting to look at the relatively brief history of this award. Company of the Year goes to the organization with the most first- and second-place finishes for the year. I decided to create the award in 2000 to recognize the remarkable achievement of TurboPower Software that year; they placed first in six categories - a third of the categories at that time.

Company of the Year became a tradition, and TurboPower won again in 2001 and 2002, but with a slimmer margin of victory each year. In 2002, TurboPower had three first-place, and two second-place finishes, with Developer Express hot on their heels with a win in two categories and three as runner-up. Again, the trend favored Developer Express, and they seemed likely to win this year. Again, we''''ll never know because of TurboPower''''s departure.

In any case, Developer Express is the clear winner of Company of the Year for 2003, with four first-place rankings, and two runner-up finishes. And, unlike previous years, there''''s no one even close.

Hat''''s Off!

As always, I thank the tireless Delphi third-party vendors who create the products that are the subject of these awards. Without these entrepreneurs who are willing to risk their time and effort each year, there would be no Delphi community. And, of course, I thank all of you in the Delphi community for voting. We received the most votes ever this year, which is pretty amazing since there are fewer of you using Delphi than when we started the awards in 1996. You''''re a more devoted group now, however, and that makes all the difference.
