Colligo Networks Wins 2006 Tax and Accounting Technology
Innovation Award
Colligo Workgroup Edition is Recognized by The CPA Technology Advisor for Its Innovation and Advancement in Technology for Accounting Professionals
Los Angeles, California and Vancouver, BC, June 6, 2006 - Colligo Networks Inc., a leader in offline collaboration solutions for mobile workers, today announced that Colligo Workgroup Edition was honored by The CPA Technology Advisor with its annual Tax and Accounting Innovation Award. The 2006 award winners were celebrated at the California Accounting and Business Show & Conference in Los Angeles last evening and will be featured in the magazine’s August 2006 issue.
Through a process of “Discover, Connect and Interact”, Colligo Workgroup Edition enables users to create instant peer-to-peer networks in any location using standard WiFi hardware already installed in most of today’s laptops and tablet PCs. With over 90,000 licenses sold to large and small accounting firms, Colligo Workgroup Edition saves firms time and money. Audit teams are now replacing remote servers and cables, or other types of hardware for sharing data, with Colligo’s seamless software, saving auditors hours in a week and thousands of dollars every month.
"We were looking for companies that improve the daily lives of tax and accounting professionals,” comments Gregory L. LaFollette, CPA.CITP, executive editor of The CPA Technology Advisor. “Colligo Workgroup Edition solves a critical collaboration challenge for auditors and enhances not only the client-accountant relationship but also the overall productivity and profitability of practicing accountants.”
The CPA Technology Advisor editorial staff and advisory board selected Colligo Workgroup Edition as one of five winners. To be eligible for this award the nominated products had to be either recently developed or have undergone significant enhancement within the last two years. Additionally, the nominated products must be commercially available and directly marketed to the accounting and tax profession. There have been over 250 products nominated in the now three year old competition.
“We applaud The CPA Technology Advisor’s efforts in continuing to recognize technology innovation in the tax and accounting field,” comments David Wood, Vice President of Sales, Colligo Networks. “We are honored to be recognized for the innovation and practical application of Workgroup Edition. Receiving a 2006 Innovation in Tax and Accounting Technology award confirms we’ve solved a critical challenge to audit teams: extending the use of audit applications into offline settings where team members have no access to the Internet or corporate servers.”
