Intelligent Enterprise, the only publication focused on showing business and IT managers how to achieve competitive advantage by adding intelligence to their business processes, today announced that it has been nominated as a finalist in three categories in the 50th Annual Maggie Awards. Sponsored by the Western Publications Association, the Maggie Awards recognize editorial excellence in a wide variety of consumer and trade publication categories, among publications based west of the Mississippi River.

The Maggie Awards judges named Intelligent Enterprise a finalist in the categories of Best Computers/Software/Training & Development Publication, Best Managerial/Professional Publication, and Best Cover. The winners of the 2001 Maggie Awards will be announced at a WPA-sponsored banquet on April 20 in Los Angeles.

"That Intelligent Enterprise was nominated for Best Publication in both the managerial/professional and computer/software categories demonstrates that its rich technical content in a business context holds value for both IT and business executives," said Tom Borsellino, Publisher of Intelligent Enterprise. "We are thrilled by this high-profile acknowledgement of our efforts to create a strategic guidebook that is equally essential to both audiences."
