winners were announced, including Best E-Learning, Industrial
Applications, Sustainability & Environmental Technology (Green
IT), etc. The Best Application Tools and Platforms category,
which Fusionex was nominated for and won, was a hotly contested
category, not least because it was a category which the top
Analytics and Big Data players would be eligible to be nominated
for and compete in. Its emphasis is on the provision of the means
to enhance the operation of IT systems, and productivity
improvement of users using the software. In order to win, Fusionex

data and databases, including large unstructured (i.e. complex)
data sets
- Increase in the efficiency of systems or personnel through
system performance measurement
- Decision support and executive information
- Virtualization facilities
When approached on their latest win, Fusionex Managing Director
Ivan Teh commented, "Fusionex was
nominated in an extremely competitive category where the most
innovative solutions were presented, but through it all, we believe
that the sheer comprehensiveness and unique capabilities of our
software to deal with Analytics and Big Data coupled with its
ease-of-use resulted in our software winning the day."
Continued Teh, "It has been a grueling 2 months leading to
the APICTA summit, where our software was demonstrated and
scrutinized on many occasions and at different levels before we
appeared for the final judging. This win not only recognizes our
product pedigree but the creative caliber and commitment of the
Fusionex team as well, without which winning this award would not
have been possible."
The main objectives of the APICTA awards are to recognize the
leading ICT innovators, entrepreneurs and companies within the
Asia Pacific region, providing a
platform for regional ICT players to benchmark their products and
solutions. Now in its' 13th year, the APICTA Awards
participants boast of high quality products of exceptional
standards, where only the best and most innovative products are
chosen as winning products. It is the most prestigious and highly
rated ICT awards in Asia
Pacific.
Teh also added, "Winning this award is indeed timely as it
has opened the door to numerous opportunities and possible
collaborations because there is a significant demand in this region
where Analytics and Big Data are concerned. We are indeed honored
to win this award and look forward to working with organizations on
their Analytics and Big Data initiatives."
