Unisfair Wins ThinkForward Sustainability AwardMenlo Park, CA, May 26, 2010 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Unisfair (http://www.unisfair.com), the virtual engagement platform leader, has been recognized with the 2010 ThinkForward award by Beagle Research Group, LLC for the practical application of front office business software. Unisfair's Virtual Engagement Platform has won the first annual award due to its ability to innovate and drive new business processes that reduce various costs--including transportation and travel--and fully engage customers as partners in the vendor-customer relationship. "We wanted to recognize the contributions made by leading and emerging front office software companies in the area of supporting more sustainable business processes," said Denis Pombriant, managing principal, Beagle Research. "Unisfair's virtual events not only provide a viable alternative to corporate travel, they have the potential to dramatically reduce an organization's carbon footprint and travel budgets, and do so without diminishing returns." Unisfair has achieved significant momentum in the virtual events space. Demand for the company's technology continues to double year over year, with more than 50 new customers added. In addition, by eliminating the need for attendee travel, Unisfair saved its customers--who include CA, IBM, ATG, Ariba and Intuit--an estimated 70,000 tons of carbon last year. "It is an honor to be recognized by Beagle Research for our significant contribution to making business more sustainable," said Hoang Vuong, CEO of Unisfair. "We share this accolade with our clients and partners who have embraced virtual engagement realizing that while travel may need to go on hold, lead generation cannot."
