Reportive Innovation Rewarded
PARIS, France, May 8th, 2006. Reportive, an innovative business reporting pioneer, announced today that it has been nominated as one of the Red Herring 100 Europe winners, a selection of the best private companies based in the EMEA region that play a leading role in innovation and technology.
"Market obstacles remain but our list shows that great companies are being created in Europe," said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss.
Hubert Catanese, CEO Reportive, commented, "We are very honored to be listed among Europe’s top 100 Red Herring private high-tech companies because it is seen as a real benchmark for innovation and quality. The value of Reportive’s integrated, all-in-one reporting platform is recognized by leading pharmaceutical, high-technology and automotive organizations in Europe, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMW, GlaxoSmithKline, Schering-Plough, and Microsoft, and is getting good traction in the US as well."
Reportive provides a reporting and analysis solution that gives business professionals the ability to manage the end-to-end reporting process through a single, integrated platform. It represents a more innovative approach than the traditional, heavy-weight Business Intelligence platforms, which require armies of IT experts and analysts to use a number of highly-specialized tools to produce business reports. Like a Swiss army knife, Reportive tightly integrates all the functions needed to create, individually customize and distribute reports to many users into a single, easy-to-use software tool.
Red Herring’s lists of top private companies are an important part of the magazine’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as those that would change the way we live and work. Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 700 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
To honor the CEOs of Red Herring 100 Europe companies, Red Herring has invited each CEO to present his or her company at its Venture Market Europe 2006 conference, a forum for technology’s most exciting companies to share their insights on the future of innovation and the entrepreneurial journey. Scheduled for May 8-10, at the Westin Paris, this intimate, three-day conference will explore the trends, technologies and people affecting the IT sphere in the EMEA region. Last year’s optimistic outlook has been revisited and reflected in the 2006 theme "Old World, New Hope - 100 Reasons to Believe in Europe’s Innovative Edge."
