| Perhaps at no other time has it been more difficult for technology vendors to ply their wares. Products and services had better be faster, smarter, more secure, more capable and more cost-efficient if corporate IT is going to dedicate part of its tightly bound budget to them. The 2nd annual eWEEK eXcellence Awards provide a benchmark for IT, showcasing some of the best and most innovative products released in 2001–that is, some of the safest technology bets. Products entered into the eXcellence Awards program are evaluated by a panel of experts including eWEEK Labs analysts and eWEEK Corporate Partners. The winners will be published here and in the March 4 issue of eWEEK. Find more information about the awards program. | ||
