For 121 years, The Daily Record Company has provided trusted legal and business information to Maryland readers. The Innovator of the Year Awards were founded in 2002 as a way to recognize Marylanders and Maryland-based companies for their innovative spirit -- for creating new products, new programs, new services, or new processes that have helped their companies, industries, or communities.
Erik Dahl is being honored for his development of Zenoss Enterprise, which is changing the game in the IT operations management software market that was once dominated by large legacy vendors. The product enables IT professionals to manage their next generation datacenter operations with unprecedented power, simplicity, and agility at a fraction of legacy management software costs. The product combines an innovative commercial open source business model together with advanced model-driven technologies that redefines the enterprise IT management customer experience.
A distinguished panel of judges selected 25 winners for this year's award. The winners will be honored on October 14 at a cocktail reception, held at Baltimore's American Visionary Art Museum. At that time, the top Innovator of the Year will be announced.
In addition, Zenoss has been identified by Dow Jones as an emerging technology company and CEO Bill Karpovich has been invited to present at this year's VentureWire Technology Showcase, a Dow Jones conference being held on October 13-14, 2009 in Redwood City, CA.
The VentureWire Technology Showcase, developed by the editors of VentureWire, was held for the first time in 2008 and will explore the technologies, business models and markets that are poised for long-term success in the technology market.
This year's show spotlights 75 of tech's most innovative companies, including Zenoss -- all vetted by VentureWire editors as industry standouts -- to give investors, corporate executives, analysts and entrepreneurs a look at what's coming down the pipeline and leads for their next deal, acquisition or partnership. Select keynote speakers at the show include: Mary McDowell, EVP and Chief Development Officer at Nokia, Guido Jouret, CTO of the Emerging Technologies Group at Cisco Systems and John Schappert, COO at Electronic Arts.
"These honors are a great way to kickoff the fourth quarter and further validate the impact Zenoss and its technology are having on the marketplace. Zenoss is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in datacenters globally and our company's innovative business model ensures the continued evolution through community collaboration," said Bill Karpovich, CEO of Zenoss.
