What is a CODiE?What is a CODiE?
The CODiE Awards, originally called the Excellence in Software Awards, were
established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the
Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), so that pioneers of the
then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other’s work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program
has carried out the same purpose – to showcase the software and information
industry’s finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate
achievement and philanthropic efforts.

Choosing the Right CategoryChoosing the Right Category
• Read the descriptions of the categories carefully and decide where your product best fits.
• Review the criteria of the categories; know what the Judges will be scoring.
• It’s better not to try to ‘cram’ the product in to a category where it is a marginal fit.
