San Diego, California – May 4, 2005 – WiredRed®, a
technology leader in enterprise real-time communications
software, today announced that e/pop® Professional was
awarded top honors by CMP Media LLC’s Network Computing.
e/pop Professional was chosen as the best Enterprise
Instant Messaging (IM) product in the 11th annual
Well-Connected Awards ceremony held May 3, 2005.
The Well-Connected Awards recognize the most outstanding
technology products and services in the networking and
IT world. e/pop was evaluated in its Real-World Labs®
during 2004, along with products from 134 finalists in
more than 44 categories.
“We are extremely pleased to be named the winner in the
Enterprise IM category,” said Allen Drennan, WiredRed’s
Founder and CTO. “The product was originally developed
to help companies and organizations communicate more
efficiently, and it was built to operate within
multi-office networks, firewalls, and established
network infrastructure. e/pop Professional can be
considered a product that pioneered the Enterprise IM
market with features that hadn’t been available before,
such as true enterprise directory integration. WiredRed
would like to thank Network Computing for recognizing
e/pop in the 11th Annual Well-Connected Awards.”
WiredRed’s e/pop Professional takes top honors against
formidable competitors Microsoft Corporation’s Microsoft
Office Live Communications Server and Sun Java System
Instant Messaging 6.1 from Sun Microsystems.
“The Well-Connected Awards are the only industry awards
given by technologists based on real-world product
testing and evaluation. These awards take the pulse of
the technology industry and reflect the best of what IT
has to offer,” said Fritz Nelson, VP and Group Publisher
of the Network Computing Enterprise Architecture Group.
“This is an important distinction from any other award
program – the products selected in the Well-Connected
Awards are unique because they have been graded with the
same criteria IT professionals use to make purchasing
decisions – truly the most outstanding products and
services available.”
