Vancouver, BC, December 5, 2013--(T-Net)--ePACT Network Ltd. announced today the company's win of "Judge's Choice: Best in Show" at the BC Technology Industry Association's (BCTIA) ConnectFX event.
On November 28th, ConnectFX hosted some of the most innovative companies and experienced technology leaders in British Columbia. The BCTIA handpicked 11 companies to present their products - all local start-ups who are ready to expand their reach and make valuable connections with potential partners and clients. With a 'Demo Day' format, ePACT presented among the likes of Mobify, myBestHelper, Fatigue Science and Contractually, winner of the Audience Choice Award.
The 11 presenting companies were judged by a panel of three seasoned technology executives in BC - Lynette DuJohn, Chief Information Officer of the BCLC, Steve Kinsey, VP of Sales and Operations in Western Canada for Cisco Systems, and Kevin Satterfield, Director of IT Application Development & Maintenance at BestBuy Canada.
In selecting a winner, the three judges considered the company's identification of a clear market and opportunity, and their success in building a quality solution to provide value to clients.
Bill Tam, CEO of BCTIA states, "ConnectFX is all about connecting BC-bred innovations to BC-based customers. We're helping local entrepreneurs gain a competitive head start in building their businesses, and BC corporations and government agencies gain an innovation edge in adopting new technologies. It's a win-win situation that helps to burnish a culture of home team advantage for technology companies like ePACT who choose to grow their business in BC.”
Christine Sommers, ePACT Co-Founder and CEO added, “We were thrilled to participate in such a fantastic event highlighting so many outstanding BC companies and Founders. To then have the judges recognize our network as a great solution to a massive problem was a very proud and validating moment for us. So we are very honored to win their Best in Show award and thank BCTIA for hosting ConnectFX!"
