MINNEAPOLIS, MN - IDeaS, the leading provider of hospitality revenue optimization solutions and one of America's fastest growing technology companies, has been awarded first place in the 2003 Tekne Awards for IT Software, Communications and Infrastructure, Minnesota's annual technology awards program that recognizes individuals and companies that lead in the innovation, development, commercialization and management of technology.
The Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA) and Minnesota Technology, Inc. (MTI), in partnership with Medical Alley, MNBIO and Minnesota Project Innovation, join together in this collaborative effort. "IDeaS has been recognized in three recent awards as one of the fastest growing companies overall and within hi-tech segment in Minnesota, and as one of the fastest growing hi-tech companies in the U.S. However, in my mind, the Tekne Award is most significant," said Ed Booth, CEO of IDeaS. He added, "A group of technology experts and business leaders have looked over the field and selected IDeaS. The key theme for the Tekne awards this year was innovation. Rather than being defeated by a difficult world situation and marketplace, IDeaS has been steadfast and unwavering to our commitment to always do everything in our power to deliver benefits to our clients while, at the same time, re-inventing ourselves for now and the future on a worldwide scale. Our ability to successfully work our way through this difficult period is particularly extraordinary, as many companies did not make it and our business and our markets were hit harder than most." "The MHTA commends IDeaS for being recognized as one of the leading innovative companies in Minnesota," said Kate Rubin, President of the Minnesota High Tech Association. "We are proud to honor IDeaS as a 2003 Tekne Award recipient. Only those who have demonstrated outstanding innovation and leadership earn this recognition." Dr. James Bensen, Chair of the Board of Directors for Minnesota Technology, Inc. adds, "These Tekne Award recipients are the best at what they do. Our state is privileged to have many terrific companies, but to be named a Tekne Award recipient is very special. With companies like IDeaS, it's no wonder that Minnesota continues to be a great place to do business." The fourth annual Tekne Awards were held on Thursday, October 23, 2003, at the Minneapolis Convention Center with special guest speaker, Governor Tim Pawlenty. Sixteen recipients were named in 15 categories. A list of all recipients and categories can be found at
