The Initiative Mittelstand from media publisher Huber Verlag für Neue Medien GmbH, is an online publication which serves as a valuable resource to Information Technology executives and decision makers. In Germany, “Mittelstand” is a term representing the mid-sized business segment. Initiative Mittelstand has built a solid reputation for providing trusted advice to businesses on IT and telecommunications solutions as well as insights on trends and new technologies.
The Innovation Award, now in its fifth year, is presented to those companies whose solutions offer the most innovative or technological benefits to small and medium-sized businesses. Selection for the award is very competitive and is conducted by a jury comprised of more than 40 academic and technology industry experts. Venali’s Internet Fax Services were selected from well over 1600 applicants in over 33 categories. The award was presented a special ceremony in March at CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany
Using Venali small and medium-sized businesses can benefit immediately with a fax solution that is easily and rapidly deployed, and also leverages their existing IT infrastructure by avoiding investment and costly upgrades of in-house fax hardware, software, dedicated fax lines and maintenance. Results vary, however Venali customers often report savings of as much as 40% to 80%.
