The SIIA CODiE Awards are the premier award for the software and information industries, and have been recognizing product excellence for 27 years. The awards have over 75 categories and are organized by industry focus of content, education and software.

This year there were 27 software categories, including 12 new and updated categories that reflect the continued growth and evolution of cloud computing, mobile, big data and video. Winners will be announced during a special awards luncheon on May 9 in San Francisco during the industry's most comprehensive ISV conference, All About the Cloud.
