SIV.AG was honored with two of the highest awards at this year's Oracle OpenWorld, the largest international IT event of the Oracle community. Jörg Sinnig, CEO of SIV.AG, accepted both the Oracle EMEA and the Oracle Global ISV Award in the presence of Larry Ellison, founder and CEO of the Oracle Corporation. The awards were presented in a ceremony on 19 September 2010 in San Francisco by Safra Catz, President of the Oracle Corporation, and Stein Surlien, Senior Vice President Alliances & Channels, Oracle EMEA.

With these awards Oracle acknowledges the convincing worldwide positioning of SIV.AG and its innovative product development based on the latest Oracle technologies.

As a provider of integral solutions for the energy and water supply industries SIV.AG sets absolute standards through the highest performance and efficiency.

The software and consulting house is connected to the world market leader Oracle by 18 years of a very close and trusting cooperation. The company uses the database and the analysis and development environments of the global player. Both SIV.AG and its customers benefit from the innovative strength and investment security through a uniform technology basis, integrated business processes and continuous accumulation of know-how.

There were 87 nominations for the Independent Software Vendor Award from 22 countries in the market area of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) alone, which were screened by an international team of renowned experts. An independent jury of the International Data Corporation, one of the world's leading market research and consulting companies, then selected the winner from the top 3 contestants for each category.
