ServiceMesh Agility Platform recognized by a panel of industry experts for excellence and innovation

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 22 — ServiceMesh, provider of the market-leading enterprise-class cloud application management platform for Global 2000 companies, today announced that the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has selected the ServiceMesh Agility Platform as a finalist in the Best Cloud Platform category of the 2012 CODiE Awards for Business Software. The 27th annual SIIA CODiE Awards recognize excellence in business software, digital content, and education technology. Winners will be announced on Thursday, May 10, 2012, at the CODiE Awards Presentations held in conjunction with the SIIA's annual All About the Cloud conference.

SIIA evaluates cloud platforms based on their ability to speed deployment of cloud applications, reduce operating costs, support different deployment environments, and provide high levels of governance, security, scalability, flexibility and transparency.

The ServiceMesh Agility Platform is an enterprise cloud application management platform that enables Global 2000 companies to transform their costly and constrained IT services delivery approach into an "everything as a service" model that quickly aligns to business needs. The ServiceMesh Agility Platform is the only enterprise-grade solution on the market that accelerates this transformation by orchestrating the full lifecycle of cloud application delivery independent of the underlying infrastructure. With the Agility platform, customers deliver new applications faster while maintaining compliance, security and governance through flexible policy definition and enforcement. The result is a significant reduction in the cost, complexity, and time-to-market for applications.

The CODiE Awards were established in 1986 to showcase the software and information industry's finest products and services across multiple software categories. The CODiE Awards hold the distinction of being the industry's only peer-reviewed awards program, with a panel of seasoned industry experts selecting the nominated products based on live product demonstrations, trial software access and supplementary documentation.

"All of this year's CODiE Awards finalists should feel proud of making it to this stage. We're pleased with all of this year's nominees, and the finalists reflect excellence and innovation in the business software industry," said Rhianna Collier, vice president of the SIIA Software Division.

"We are extremely gratified to be nominated as a CODiE Award finalist because the recognition comes from industry peers who focus on product features and capabilities that they know can have a measurable impact on the success of customer cloud initiatives," said Steve Henning, vice president of marketing at ServiceMesh. "The combination of industry accolades, and most importantly, highly satisfied customers testifies to the fact that the Agility Platform can deliver strategic business value and competitive advantages by improving anorganization's agility and operating costs."
