Red Herring today announced that Intera, an Enterprise 2.0 company that helps businesses create, collaborate and control content socially across the enterprise, is a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Europe, an award given to the top 100 private technology companies based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region each year.
Intera will present its vision for merging the enthusiasm, pro-activity and power of classic social networking into the enterprise environment during the Red Herring Europe 2009 Conference, scheduled for March 31- April 2 at the Berlin Radisson Hotel. Red Herring will honor all Red Herring 100 Europe finalist companies at the event, as well as name the 100 winners of the award.
Intera’s Intrix service provides a collaborative, user-friendly environment for business intelligence by putting control into the hands of the user with a profile-driven approach. Utilizing many built-in, socially-aware features, Intrix users simply state their role and are provided immediate and customizable solutions that easily adapt or evolve over time.
“We are proud to be included in this prestigious list of technology innovators. Our product, Intrix has many built-in social features that add a social layer to business applications and enable true collaboration throughout the enterprise,” said Davorin Gabrovec, CEO and founder of Intera. “This recognition by Red Herring is supportive of our work to unlock the value of collaboration throughout the enterprise and pursue international expansion, including localization and integration across all levels of the enterprise and beyond.”
Red Herring’s lists of top private companies are an important part of the publication’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work. Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated several hundred private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
