SEATTLE, Nov. 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adaptiva, a leading provider of IT systems management solutions, announced today it has been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's 2012 Top 100 Global award, a prestigious recognition honoring the year's most disruptive and far reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe. This continues a string of recent award recognitions for the company, with Adaptiva being awarded the 2012 Golden Bridge Award for Best New Information Technology Software just last month.
With today's enterprises seeking to cut traditional IT budgets while simultaneously integrating new, emerging technologies it is essential they find a way to control overhead costs.

"The IT landscape has become outdated and inefficient in terms of how costly and effective traditional enterprise technologies can be," said Todd Floyd, vice president of sales and operations at Adaptiva. "We're seeing an increased demand for services that can improve efficiency levels and help reduce costs by optimizing current technologies, and recognition from the Red Herring Global 100 further acknowledges the need in today's businesses world for solutions that create a streamlined IT process."

"2012 has confirmed the sector's vibrant activity and its resilience to widespread economic problems. An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are attempting to jump ahead of the competition and aspire to make a difference. Breakthroughs obsolete each other faster than ever before. Adaptiva has performed exceptionally in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global Finalists. At this stage, we are left with the daunting task to select the best qualified companies for the 2012 Top 100 Global Award."
