Kinetic Data Named “Innovator of the Year” by Worldwide Remedy User Group (WWRUG09) Conference Attendees

Award comes from an independent group of BMC Remedy users who recognize the value of vendor’s Kinetic Request service catalog tool.

St. Paul, Minn.—Nov. 19, 2009—Kinetic Data (http://www.kineticdata.com), the leading provider of third-party business service management (BSM) tools built on the BMC Remedy Action Request (AR) System platform, today announced that it has been named “Innovator of the Year” by the independent Remedy user group community. The company presented Kinetic Request—a software tool that empowers business process owners in departments across the enterprise to design and manage their own service request management portals—to support its nomination. Ten other vendors vied for the coveted award.

“We first met Kinetic Data in 2006 at a local RUG meeting and immediately saw the value they bring to the Remedy user community,” said David Wilmot, principal of Rapid Technologies. “Our partnership with Kinetic is based on the innovative software tools and expertise we can provide to our customers via Kinetic Data’s BSM portfolio.”

The independently run Remedy User Group conferences bring together BMC Remedy users, partners, and thought leaders to facilitate in-depth technical tutorials and discussions of real-world products and services that can maximize BMC customers’ investments in BMC products. Kinetic Data was a sponsor of WWRUG09, which took place November 9–13, 2009 in Las Vegas. The company provided two full days of educational tracks that demonstrated how Kinetic Data tools leverage the value of BMC Remedy throughout the entire enterprise.

“We’ve always relied on customer feedback to shape our products,” said John Sundberg, president of Kinetic Data. “For many years, we’ve attended RUGs to listen to what the Remedy user community is saying. The “Innovator of the Year” award is really special for us because it says we were able to translate what we heard into genuinely useful products.”
