7th Annual Stevie Awards Will Be Presented on June 22 in New York City DENVER--(Business Wire)-- IQNavigator, the leading provider of global services procurement solutions and managed service programs, announced today that it was named a finalist in the Fastest Growing Company and Best New Service categories in the 2009 American Business Awards. IQNavigator was also selected as a finalist for the People`s Choice category in April. The American Business Awards are the nation`s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit entries to the ABAs - public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 22 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Six-hundred executives from across the U.S.A. are expected to attend. The ceremonies will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network and hosted by Cheryl Casone of Fox Business Network. More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories. As the leading provider of global services procurement solutions, IQNavigator posted remarkable growth in 2008, including a 52 percent increase in revenue over 2007. New client wins in 2008, and an average growth of more than 90 percent in spend under management at existing clients, fueled these record results. Further sparking this tremendous growth, in 2008, IQNavigator pioneered the industry`s first world class managed service program (MSP) framework addressing the needs of companies with global operations. Named "Intelligent MSP," the offering is an evolution of IQNavigator`s traditional client-managed and partner-managed service procurement programs. "Services procurement represents a multi-million dollar cost savings opportunity for large companies, and the need to bolster supply chain efficiency and expand savings into new business areas is more prominent than ever in an uncertain economy," said John P. Raeder, Jr., president and CEO, IQNavigator. "We`re proud of the work we`ve done for our clients in this area, which has led directly to IQNavigator`s tremendous growth over the past year. We`re honored to be recognized for our efforts by such a prestigious award program." Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie Award winners from among Finalists in final judging that will continue through June 3. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April through early May. "Despite very tough economic conditions, many organizations and individuals continue to perform well," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. "The results of the 2009 ABAs thus far are a testament to the resilience, creativity, and hard work of American organizations, executives, and workers."
