From Steve Winter, CEO:
The winner will be chosen from a panel comprised of members from some of our sponsors including the Houston Technology Center and the Greater Houston Partnership. We want this to be an unbiased decision. We are looking for the company with the most compelling story. We want to choose a company where an upgrade or new infrastructure will have the most impact on their business and on their employees. There are a myriad of issues that can affect a companies’ productivity that don’t allow them to effectively compete in the marketplace. We want to help a company that has a good business plan or idea and just needs the technology to make it go. This could be for a non-profit or for-profit company in Houston.”
“This contest is a great way to give back to the community. There are thousands of small businesses in Houston and we hope to make an impact with one of these companies. It is also a good way for our sponsors to help give back to a community in which they may not be based. All of our sponsors were very excited about this. It is also obviously a great way for ERGOS to gain recognition in the marketplace and a fun way to do it.
Additional sponsors include Microsoft, Dell, DataVox, Symantec, Houston Technology Center, the Greater Houston Partnership, the Galleria Chamber of Commerce, Palm and SonicWALL.”
