Best Use of Tags 2011

Best Use of Tags 2011This is an advanced notice that TagVault.org and The ITAM Review will be running the ‘Best Use of Tags’ contest in early 2011.

The contest, now in its second year, aims to identify and recommend those SAM vendors who have clearly demonstrated the use of ISO/IEC 19770-2 tags in their technology.

Formal notices will be sent to software vendors in January. In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the contest.

Volunteers Required

For this years contest we are looking for end-user organizations to join the judging panel and to offer interesting real-world scenarios for software identification issues. Any information provided about difficult to identify software will be kept strictly confidential.  Please contact me if you would like to participate (Tool providers will not be allowed to take part as a volunteer).
