Perforce Software today announced the winners of its inaugural Versionary Awards for customer innovation. Elite organisations were recognised for their excellence in applying Perforce software to challenging collaboration and development requirements-such a continuous delivery and third-generation globalisation. Winners in 10 categories will be recognised today at Merge 2013, the Perforce conference, held this year in San Francisco, April 23 - 26.
"We are continually impressed by our customers and are honoured to play a supporting role in the many innovations and creative work they deliver," said Christopher Seiwald, CEO of Perforce. "We started the Versionary Awards as a way of recognising our customers who are stretching the boundaries of what can be done in software development, and who boldly go where no version management has gone before."
Versionary Award winners were selected from 114 nominations submitted from around the world. Categories and recipients include:
