The coveted Red Herring 100 North America Award is known for its ability to identify young companies and entrepreneurs who will go on to become globally recognized leaders in their respective industries.  In fact, Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live, work and play.

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential is by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Viridity Software embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Viridity Software should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in North America.

"Indeed, there is quite a bit of 'buzz' around the energy resource management industry segment.  Rising above it and making a mark as a company that is delivering a technologically advanced, innovative and viable solution to an ever increasing customer challenge can be a daunting exercise, even for a large well-established company. Our ability to do just that and to be named to the Red Herring North America Top 100 is an incredible accomplishment of which we are understandably extraordinarily proud," said Bob Steinkrauss, President and CEO of Viridity Software. "However perhaps even more importantly, for our customers, Viridity Software's ability to withstand the strenuous investigative review process of the Red Herring editorial team offers them yet another level of validation for our EnergyCenter software solution."
