The 2014 DBTA Readers’ Choice Award Winners

The votes have been tallied and the results are in. Now, it’s time to pop the champagne and offer congratulations as Database Trends and Applications magazine unveils the 2014 Readers’ Choice Awards winners.

With the opportunities and obstacles presented by developments such as big data, cloud, and mobility, the challenges of managing and extracting value from data have never been greater. At the same time, the array of technology options for storing, protecting, integrating, enhancing and analyzing data has exploded. To help add perspective and acknowledge the products and services that have been deemed to provide unique value to customers, DBTA created this new competition.

Unlike any other awards programs conducted by DBTA, this one is special because the nominees are submitted and the winners are chosen by the experts—whose opinions carry more weight than all others—you, the readers. With more than 22,000 votes cast across 31 categories, thecontest between candidates was often neck and neck. As a result, we are showcasing both winners and finalists in each category.
