AccuRev is once again pleased to inform everyone that its flagship product, AccuRev, has been selected as a Jolt Award Finalist for Dr. Dobb’s 19th Annual Jolt Product Excellence Awards in the Change and Configuration Management category. 

For the past 18 years, the Jolt Product Excellence Awards have been presented annually to showcase products that have “jolted” the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier, and more efficient. The awards presentation is sponsored by JOLT, the fabled soft drink quaffed by software developers for sustenance during project development marathons.

“The Jolt judges have selected these finalists from the nearly 300 qualified nominations that were submitted online. The submissions represent the many innovative tools available for every phase of the software development lifecycle,” said Amber Ankerholz, Jolt Award Project Manager. “This year’s finalist round was extremely competitive and we appreciate the effort all of the participants put into showcasing their products’ features for the judges.”

In the next round of the Jolt Award process, the judges will examine the finalists according to the standard criteria of audience suitability, productivity, innovation, quality, ROI, risk, and flexibility. They focus on products that are ahead of the curve, universally useful, rich in functionality or that were solutions to problems in their product space.

Winners are announced during the Jolt Awards ceremony that takes place on March 11 at SD West 2009 Conference & Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
