Honorees to Be Announced at an Annual Dinner on June 2nd
Paragon Software Group, the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, has been named a finalist in the Innovative/Product Technology category for the TechAmerica High-Tech Innovation Awards. Now in its 17th year, this premier business event celebrates excellence and achievement in the region’s technology industry, and honors local companies, individuals and products that drive innovation in Orange County. This year’s winners will be announced at a dinner on June 2, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, Calif.
“Our unique Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology is specially developed to provide full high performance access to volumes of the most popular file systems where these file systems usually are not supported,” said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group. ”Our UFSD technology allows Windows users to have full access to hard drives formatted for Mac, and vice versa — which normally they could not do — and even allows Linux, Android, and WinCE users to access both Windows and Mac formatted drives. Paragon’s 15 years of expertise in cross-platform support of NTFS and other file systems have been proven with millions of installations around the world, and we are thrilled to be recognized by TechAmerica for our problem-solving technology.”
“We had a record number of nominations this year, almost 100, and we congratulate Paragon for rising to the finalist ranks,” said Bob Brunson, associate director, TechAmerica Orange County. “This region boasts many noteworthy companies, such as Paragon, that continue to influence technology development throughout the rest of the world, and we’re excited to help highlight them.”
The awards categories this year include the Harvey Mudd College Green Engineering Award, Innovative Product/Technology In 2009, Outstanding CEO In Technology, Outstanding Company In Medical Technology and Outstanding Technology Company.
In addition to the awards, TechAmerica Orange County will recognize educators and students for their innovative use of science, math, and technology in the classroom and the community in conjunction with Project Tomorrow. The organization is the nation’s leading education nonprofit group focused on preparing today’s students to be tomorrow’s innovators.
