For the past 10 years, these awards have been recognized as one of the computer retailing industry's leading honors. Among the big winners were Digital River, Dragon Systems and Fuji. Winning products and companies were voted on by more than 260 computer software and hardware retail executives during RetailVision Fall 99, Sept. 16, at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers.
Retailers recognize all of the winners as true visionaries, representing the spirit of innovation.
Retail executives previewed, reviewed and evaluated the latest technology in private boardroom appointments. These confidential meetings are an integral part of the decision-making process that retail computer buyers undertake in order to stock their shelf space. Industry leaders from top retail organizations, including Best Buy, CompUSA and Office Max, presented the awards.
