In our selection of finalists and winners, we looked for innovations in technology and, to a lesser extent, market success. We spent the year examining the latest in content and collaboration technology, and we brought many of these products into our lab.

Large, enterprise-wide solutions are difficult to test in the lab, so we sought additional input from distinguished industry experts. This year's roster of commentators included:

   Geoffrey Bock, Patricia Seybold Group
   Bill Chambers, Doculabs
   Guy Creese, Aberdeen Group
   Gautam Desai, Doculabs
   Sue Feldman, IDC
   Julie Gable, independent records management consultant
   Penny Gillespie, Giga Information Group
   Avi Greenfield, Doculabs
   Chris Harris-Jones, Ovum
   Lou Latham, Gartner
   Michael Maziarka, CAP Ventures
   Connie Moore, Giga Information Group

   Bill Trippe, New Millennium Publishing
   Patricia Turocy, Doculabs
   Ray Valdes, Gartner
   Scott Wildemuth, Andersen Consulting
   Nick Wilkoff, Forrester
   Eric Woods, Ovum.

The final selection of winners and finalists rested with the editors of Transform Magazine, and in many cases we also spoke with users for additional feedback on ease of deployment and use as well as business impact. Complete descriptions of the winners and finalists will be available online at http://www.transformmag.com/ December 19.
