Following Cision's trend of recognition for innovative solutions, the company's newest product won "Best Business Information Solution."

"We are always honored to be recognized by the SIIA and I'm thrilled to see that this year the Cision Comms Cloud has been awarded for its data-driven solutions it brings to communications professionals," said Cision CEO Kevin Akeroyd. "This award serves as an affirmation of the work we're doing to redefine the industry standard by equipping communicators with the insights they need to tie their communications programs to strategic business objectives."

With rich monitoring and analytics, Cision arms brands with the insights they need to tie their communications programs to strategic business objectives.

Feedback from the judges noted, "A cloud-based solution for earned media ... is well timed as the marketing and PR industries incorporate more earned media into their marketing and communications strategies." The Cloud software "has done a great job of targeting the PR & Comms professionals with a suite of tools and services as well as the executives, with a set of dashboards that capture and present the underlying data around media ROI."

"SIIA's 2017 Business Technology CODiE Awards recognize the companies that are at the forefront of business innovation.

The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) is the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries. This year, sixty awards were given for products and services developed specifically for B2B software, information and media companies.

An SIIA CODiE Award win is a prestigious honor as each award winner is reviewed by third-party judges, whose evaluations determined the finalists. SIIA members then reviewed the finalists and voted to select the 2017 CODiE Award winners.
