Kirkland, WA (February 5, 2001) — digiMineSM, a service provider of business intelligence solutions, today announced winning the WSA Industry Achievement Award, “Business Product of the Year.” The WSA, the nation’s oldest and largest statewide technology trade association (previously called the Washington Software Alliance), announced the Industry Achievement Awards on Thursday, February 1 at the Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle. Founded in March 2000 by three former Microsoft executives, digiMine is quickly emerging as one of Washington State’s elite new high-technology companies.

The WSA “Business Product of the Year” Award nominees were judged on innovation, use of leading edge technology, performance, integration, open interface and improvements in productivity for its users. WSA members selected digiMine from a field of three finalists, who were previously selected by WSA judges from dozens of award applicants. Judges included technology executives, academic and government technology experts and local venture capitalists.
“Washington State has a wealth of innovative and highly competitive technology companies,” says Kathy Wilcox, President and CEO of the WSA. “I trust digiMine is gratified to be selected by its peers from a community rich in smart, successful companies.”
