Applying for a business award allows for the opportunity to compare your company with others in your industry. This is very useful for companies operating in new categories.
For example, Codonics, which is a novel medication labeling system, submitted numerous awards when they launched their solution- knowing they needed awareness and validation. - after much hard work, the were also recognized by Frost and Sullivan.

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.
