SANTA MONICA, Calif. (May 13, 2013) – Nimble, the pioneering leader in intelligent contact management and creators of the simply insightful relationship management platform today announced that Nimble won the SIIA 2013 CODiE Award for Best Relationship Management Solution.
The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, announced Nimble’s win as one of 27 CODiE Award winners in software categories. An SIIA CODiE Award win for software companies is an especially prestigious honor as each award winner was first reviewed by a field of software industry executives, whose evaluations determined 100 finalists. SIIA members then reviewed these finalists and voted to select 27 CODiE Awards Winners.
“We’re honored to have been selected by our software industry peers as the definitive solution for Relationship Management and we attribute our win to the greater Nimble community who enable our success,” said Jon Ferrara, Nimble CEO. “Your relationships make or break your business success. And they are becoming harder to manage in our noisy world. Nimble empowers you to intelligently engage, in a quick, clever and efficient manner.”

About the SIIA CODiE™ Awards
The SIIA CODiE™ Awards, originally called the Excellence in Software Awards, were established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), so that pioneers of the then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other’s work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program has carried out the same purpose – to showcase the software and information industry’s finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate achievement.
