the development of major awards and knowledge networking practices
in Canada's National Capital region," said Gregory Evanik,
President of SCOAP. "It's participation like Nathan's that has
helped SCOAP over the past decade become one of Canada's premier
centres of expertise for assessing major changes of technology and
for recognizing expertise of Canadians in leading the way to
achieving the benefits of the emerging knowledge-based society."
"We are very proud to have one of our executive managers
recoqnized for his contribution to the development and
understanding of information technology in society," said Jacques
Malo, President and CEO of nurun Inc. "Innovation and the ability
to deliver results with information technology are key values of
our company and we are excited to have a leader like Nathan
recognized by an organization that shares these same values."

and technology conferences.
At the awards dinner, Mr. Rudyk made a presentation entitled,
"Dis-Intermediation or Bricks and Mortar: What's Really Dead?"
His presentation explained that the future of digital services
delivery is a multi-channel universe, including the Web, wireless
devices, kiosks, printed material, call centres and brick and
mortar channels. In Nathan's words, re-inventing services
delivery along digital lines is all about 21st century
knowledge-based re-intermediation and not 20th century
dis-intermediation.
