The American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: the ABA’s traditional banquet on Friday, June 13, in Chicago and the new product & technology awards event on Friday, Sept. 12, in San Francisco.

More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year and Executive of the Year, among others. PanTerra Networks is nominated in the Best New Product or Service of the Year – Software – Cloud Storage & Backup Solution category.

We’d like to thank the Stevie Awards for recognizing the disruptive nature of our solution.”

Finalists were chosen by more than 150 business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May. More than 150 members of several specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the finalists during final judging, taking place May 13-22. 

“The final judges have a difficult task ahead of them, to rank the finalists, because there are so many great nominations this year,” said Stevie Awards president and founder Michael Gallagher.
