The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry's only peer-reviewed awards program. The first-round review of nominees is conducted by media, publishing and information services executives (including members of the industry, analysts, media and bloggers), and bankers and investors. The CODiE Award judges are responsible for selecting the finalists and SIIA members vote on the finalist products; scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.

"We are especially pleased with the high caliber of this year's CODiE Award winners. The products selected as finalists stand as a testament to the dedication finalist companies have not only to meet, but also to exceed their customer and partner expectations," noted SIIA Vice President for the Content Division, Kathy Greenler Sexton. "This was an extremely competitive year for the Content CODiE Awards."
