Category winners included Adobe Systems, n-tara, Citrix Online, Virtual Mirrors Ltd, and RF Code.

The demonstration was hosted by Armando Viteri, RF Code's president, and Dr. Nissim Ozer, the company's chief technology officer and the architect of the TAVIS platform. The demo highlighted the TAVIS unified monitoring system and the solutions which RF Code partners build with the platform. The voting audience was shown how the complexities of RFID data consolidation and management can be overcome, and how enterprise users can extract value and real returns from their combined investments in RFID and associated Auto-ID solutions including barcode, Real-Time Location Systems, GPS and remote sensors.

This year, more than 20 entrepreneurial and established companies presented at ETS. Their demonstrations were followed by evaluations from a panel of Forrester analysts, CIOs, and industry experts, along with an instant audience vote that scored the innovation, business potential, and quality of each demonstration.
