Innovators Take Top Honors as GCN Editors Choose Best of FOSE 2007

    WASHINGTON, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- FOSE 2007, the government's
largest gathering of information technology professionals, proved once
again to be a major showcase for the introduction of new technology
products and innovations.
    More than 100 high technology companies submitted new products in the
annual GCN Best of FOSE Awards program. Seventeen products from 16
companies received the distinguished award across a wide range of
technology categories. One product, the second generation Opteron Processor
from Advanced Micro Devices, was chosen as the overall Best of Show. The
awards are judged by the GCN Lab staff and the technology editors of GCN
and Washington Technology for outstanding technology advancement and
innovation.
    "The federal government spends more than $75 billion annually on
information technology, so industry pays close attention. This made
choosing this year's Best of FOSE products very difficult," said Wyatt
Kash, editor in chief of GCN. "The editors looked for product innovation
particularly suited to the public sector, and we were not disappointed.
Participating companies showcased new ways for government to operate more
efficiently, safeguard our country and move our national agenda forward."
