Judges Comments- "Degree of integration with many other systems is VERY impressive. Leverage several technologies - including Lotus Workflow. Quick ROI" - Joe Litton
- "Sounded like there was a lot of integration between Notes and other systems. I liked the Kofax integration for scanning, and the web and Notes interfaces were nice. I'm probably a little biased because I managed a project a few years ago where we implemented a document management system very similar to that (not Notes based), and I appreciate how complicated the whole business can be. I thought they did a nice job with it." - Julian Robichaux
- "Comprehensive invoice tracking system - lots of configuration and workflow. Very slick invoice handling - big system. Tooling in place to measure performance." - Bill Buchan
- 2nd Place: Centric CRM by Chow Lye Fong of DKSH
What makes this Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system remarkable is its ability to keep track of a complete work history and greatly help in teamwork and knowledge transfer within an organization. Statistics and key performance data, and graphics, can be generated for forecasting and evaluation purposes. It also makes marketing easy with a mass mailing tool. A tight integration with LN mailbox provides a work-from-mailbox option, making it very convenient to organize activities via the calendar.

Judges Comments- "They have thought of all the ways the user works and tries to accommodate them, while still making sure they get the job done right. Usually it's the other way around in that management just dictates what to do and people just better learn it. Very rarely do internal systems get that sort of attention." - Craig Schumann
- "Very, very large and complex CRM. Uses SVG for graphics with no reliance on external components, etc." - Bill Buchan
- 3rd Place: Notes/AutoCAD Integration by Jim Falcone of Quipp Systems
What makes this application so remarkable is its incredible integration and automation. Integration with 3D CAD allows the creation of proposals and project releases directly from a 3D model via LotusScript. ERP and Microsoft Integration is then used to create cost analyses, financial tracking data, forecasting integration and product scheduling. The list goes on! You won't believe what's possible here!
