Finalists represent the best products, technologies, and services in software, information, and business technology.

Widen’s category-bending DAM and PIM solution enables brands to centralize content and specs for thousands of physical products and deliver them to e-commerce channels efficiently.

Since launching in May 2020, Widen’s DAM and PIM solution has helped brands pilot their omnichannel strategy into the uncharted waters of the pandemic economy.

Acknowledged as the premier awards program for the software and information industries for over 35 years, the SIIA CODiE Awards are produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software, education, media and digital content industries. Widen’s DAM and PIM solution was honored as one of 153 finalists across the 43 business technology categories, including two categories in response to COVID-19.

“The 2021 CODiE Award finalists continued to innovate, pivot, and grow to develop truly remarkable products throughout a historically challenging year. These finalsts maintain the vital legacy of the CODiEs in spotlighting the best and most impactful apps, services, and products serving the business tech market. Congratulations to this year's finalists on this well deserved recognition,” said Jeff Joseph, SIIA President.

“We are proud to be in the running for our third CODiE Award with a growing platform that has helped our customers adapt to the pandemic economy and thrive despite the challenging conditions,” said Matthew Gonnering, CEO of Widen. “We congratulate the other nominees and thank the SIIA community for this opportunity.”

The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry's only peer-recognized awards program. Business technology leaders including senior executives, analysts, media, consultants, and investors evaluate assigned products during the first-round review. Their scores determine the SIIA CODiE Award finalists which accounts for 80% of the overall score. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Business Technology category winners will be announced during an online winner announcement celebration June 22, 2021.
