6th annual Stevie® Awards will be presented on June 12th in New York

May 21, 2008 — GeoAge, a leading supplier of mobile data management software solutions headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, was named a finalist today in the Best New Product – Computer Software category in The 2008 American Business Awards.

Hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” (New York Post , April 27, 2005), The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in business.

Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on Thursday, June 12th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The ceremonies will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network and hosted by Liz Claman of FOX Business Network.

“We’ve worked very hard to improve FAST (Field Adapted Survey Toolkit) software – in performance, ease of use and value,” noted Jeff Arnold, president of GeoAge. “FAST has received positive acceptance in the marketplace since 2005, and has pioneered a new application of software technology.”

GeoAge will be competing in the Best New Product – Computer Software category. More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, Best New Product or Service, Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program, and new categories including Best Management Team and Best Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program.

“ABA entries grew more than 30% this year, so being named a finalist is more of an accomplishment than ever before,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. “It means that independent business executives have agreed that each nominee is worthy of national recognition.”

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges and Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie Award winners from among finalists in final judging during the week of May 19. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April through early May.

“We’ll continue to build upon FAST’s successes,” said Mr. Arnold, “and optimize this powerful product that enables organizations to achieve new levels of mobility, data management, time savings and cost savings.”
