Viador Named 'Hot Company to Watch' by Federal Computer Week
Only Enterprise Portal Provider to be Cited on List Made up of Companies With the Potential for Significant Growth in the Federal Government Market
SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Viador Inc.(TM) (Nasdaq: VIAD - news), a leading provider of enterprise portals, has been named by Federal Computer Week as one of ``10 Hot Companies to Watch.' Federal Computer Week recognizes Viador as a company that offers an innovative solution that helps budget-constrained agencies to unlock information from their internal systems through a web-based enterprise portal. Viador already has several federal government customers, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. Navy, and Department of Defense (DOD), who are using Viador's E-Portal Suite(TM) to securely access the personalized information they need to make better decisions, provide increased customer service and reduce costs.
For the first time ever, Federal Computer Week identified for its readers a list of hot companies to watch, ranging from integrators, to resellers, to consulting firms, which provide the products and services that make the government more efficient. Viador was highlighted in the publication's ``10 Hot Companies to Watch' issue, also available on the Federal Computer Week's web site, www.fcw.com.
``These companies, either by virtue of a compelling product or an innovative service, stand out among the thousands of companies doing business in the federal space,' according the Federal Computer Week editor, Paul McCloskey, in the issue's Letter from the Editor. ``They range from PC distributors to information security concerns to e-commerce solution providers. Some are large and need no introduction. Others are small and less known. Together, they represent some of the best the information technology world has to offer the federal government.'
The Viador E-Portal Suite enterprise portal enables users to securely search, access and distribute information, from any source, including databases, documents and the world wide web. Viador presents a single, personalized ``portal-like' view to all of this information and delivers the most comprehensive set of user capabilities on the web -- all built on one open, integrated architecture that can be adapted to meet the individual needs of each enterprise. The Viador solution represents a significant innovation beyond knowledge management portals which lack the full capabilities to access the information that companies and governmental agencies need most to run their organizations.
``Viador is pleased to be named one of the 10 hot companies to watch in the federal government market,' said Steve Dille, vice president of worldwide marketing, Viador. ``We have placed an enormous amount of emphasis on delivering a superior product to the federal marketplace and this endorsement reinforces that our partners and federal agency customers feel they are getting great value from our solution.'
As of June 7, 1999, Viador is a GSA approved vendor, which means that Viador has negotiated a fixed pricing GSA contract for government buyers, and in doing so, is allowed to work directly with individual governmental agencies for purchase requests up to $100 million.
