Montreal, Canada, May 20th, 2009:  TelcoBridges™, the preferred hardware and software supplier for telecom systems integrators and solution developers, today announced that it has been awarded the Prize of Excellence for International Markets and has also been named Company of the Year by the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de la Rive-Sud (CCIRS).

The CCIRS is the third largest business association in Quebec, representing more than 1,800 business executives from the South Shore of Montreal where TelcoBridges is located.  The CCIRS Prize of Excellence is awarded to companies that distinguish themselves through their business strategies and high-performance results.  The winners were announced during the Dominique-Rollin Gala, held on Thursday, May 14th, in Boucherville, and more than 500 people attended the ceremony.

The Prize of Excellence for International Markets recognizes global efforts that lead to growth for a company, and for the markets it serves.  The evaluation for the International Markets award was based on the following criteria: sales & marketing and operations efficiency; human resources strategies; growth of sales in international markets; market penetration; development investments; economic benefit; achievements, and overall financial health.

TelcoBridges was also declared the winner of the prestigious Company of the Year award.  TelcoBridges received this award due to a variety of factors, such as: expanding customer adoption in more than 45 countries; new partner programs designed to help more solutions providers deploy TelcoBridges solutions; job creation and corporate expansion via the opening of a new Hong Kong office, and a significantly larger new corporate headquarters in Boucherville; as well as through continued product leadership that has been validated by eight different product awards in recent months.
