The Red Herring editorial team used a very competitive process to whittle down this pool of 1800 eligible promising companies to the 200 finalists of this first-time award. Evaluations were made on both quantitative and qualitative criteria such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy, and ecosystem integration.

Added Roger Burkhardt, Ingres CEO and president, "A revolution is happening in enterprise software; customers are choosing the more innovative open source model and integrated software appliances are replacing the slow, expensive process of customers integrating their own software stacks. While other technology companies continue to drive up product complexity and costs, Ingres has collaborated with other open source leaders to drive down customer costs by over 75% through virtualized software appliances. Ingres Icebreaker BI Appliance provides the power of one; one stack, one install and one stream of integrated maintenance, all built on the proven enterprise class Ingres database technology. We are pleased to have been recognized by Red Herring for our innovation here."
