SDL Recognized by KM World for Innovation and Thought Leadership in Content Management Technologies

SDL (LSE: SDL), the leading provider of Global Information Management solutions, has been awarded two distinctions from KM World for its best of breed content management technologies: repeat recipient of “100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management” and induction into the KM World 2012 Hall of Distinction. These awards demonstrate the impact of SDL’s content management technologies, specifically its Web Content Management Solutions and Structured Content Technologies, and affirm SDL’s leadership in the industry.

KMWorld designates the “100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management” for excellence in demonstrating an unwavering commitment to customers with sophisticated technology and real solutions that help companies to achieve success in today’s connected world.

The KMWorld Hall of Distinction is a first-time award for SDL and is given to companies that offer innovative technologies, and that contribute outstanding thought leadership in knowledge management. "The KMWorld Hall of Distinction is an especially personal designation," said Andy Moore, publisher of KMWorld. "The Hall of Distinction recognizes the superior level of support the designees have given our editors over the years. In short, it shows appreciation to those organizations that, through their contributions in many forms, have set themselves apart -- are distinct -- in the minds of the editors of KMWorld and myself.”

SDL’s double award in two areas of content management is a testament to the power of SDL’s vision in bringing best-of-breed technologies to market that integrates seamlessly with each other.
