100 Companies That Matter In Knowledge Management

KMWorld Names TOWER Software to Its "100 Companies That Matter In Knowledge Management" for fifth consecutive year

February 27, 2006 - Reston, VA – TOWER Software, the leading Electronic Content Management (ECM) solution provider to government and regulated industries, announced today that they have been recognized by KMWorld as one of the “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management” for the fifth year in a row. Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief, noted that "Year after year TOWER Software continues to provide thought leadership and product functionality which distinguishes the company to the panel which assembled the list."

KMWorld compiled this list based on discussions with colleagues, KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers. This is the 6th year of the list. Mr. McKellar added, "The list is conceived as a way to recognize some of the organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy. It's designed to encourage a broader discussion of KM. Criteria for inclusion differ, of course, as do the technologies recognized, but all companies share the following: each has helped to create a market, redefine one or enhance one, and all of them demonstrate the capacity for customer-driven agile innovation. Compilation of the list is a year-long, collaborative but informal process with vendors, analysts and colleagues."

Jan Rosi, President of TOWER Software North America was pleased to hear the news, "TOWER Software is elated to be recognized by such a powerful industry authority like KMWorld and to be listed with the companies that are driving the KM industry." Ms. Rosi added, "2005 was an exciting year for TOWER Software with the release of TRIM Context 6 and our zero footprint web interface, ice. 2006 is off to a great start with the announcement of our integrated Web Content Management solution which will further establish TOWER Software’s position as an innovation leader in ECM solutions."

The complete list of "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management" is featured in the March 2006 issue of KMWorld Magazine. It is also available on the KMWorld Website at www.kmworld.com.
