Company Receives Silver Stevie Award for Top Software Development Solution, Praised for Helping Minimize the Development Efforts and Cost to Generate PDF for Organizations Worldwide.
GHENT, BELGIUM / September 30, 2021 — iText Software, a global leader in innovative award-winning PDF solutions, today announced its template-based PDF generator, iText DITO, received a 2021 Silver Stevie Award in the category of Business Technology Solutions - in the subcategory: Software Development Solution.
The International Business Awards® , also known as "Stevie's", include a number of different award categories, such as Most Innovative Tech Company, which iText won a Silver Stevie for in 2020. The International Business Awards® are the premier business awards program globally for all public and private organizations, large and small.
“2021 was a particularly exciting year for iText, and then especially for iText DITO, our template generation engine. We have invested heavily in expanding the user experience of the solution. As a result, the iText DITO 2.0 Manager was introduced this year, which improves the user experience massively,” said André Lemos, Vice President of Products of iText. “The recognition from this award is a validation of our continued investments in product innovation and customer success. We are excited to continue working alongside development teams as they ramp up efforts to deliver flexibility in their document generation solutions.”
iText DITO, which was launched in 2019, received the top honors for creating a purpose-built product that unburdens developers and empowers business users to be data-driven without the need to code their PDFs.
“We have an active community of customers, partners, and contributors helping us to improve our products, documentation and support every day,” said Gary Fry, CEO of iText. “This year’s award is a testament to the iText team's resilience, drive, and commitment to support companies accelerating digitization. I am thrilled with the success we've seen in taking the next step in intuitive template-based PDF generation and collaborative asset management.”
Now in its 18th year, IBA’s Stevie Awards remain highly sought-after worldwide, exemplifying achievement in business by organizations and business professions. According to the awards site: “Known as ‘the International Stevies,’ the IBAs are open to all organizations worldwide: large and small, public and private, for-profit and nonprofit. The 2021 competition attracted more than 3,800 nominations from organizations of all types in 65 nations.”
The Stevie Awards cap off a broader period of growth for iText including the release of iText DITO 2.0, adding a whole new layer to the experience, the iText DITO Manager, which brings a workspace control room experience and a central repository for all templates, data collections and resources, making iText DITO a true collaborative solution for developers and business users.
With this new management experience, users can efficiently manage the full lifecycle of their templates and all their dependencies, like data collections, images, stylesheets and fonts. The product gives you full control over user permissions, template versions and dependencies. It lets you promote template versions, so you can rest assured only approved versions are used in production - in case next iterations are being built. In addition, iText DITO contains interesting new features such as automated chart creation, the ability to build new templates from components of existing ones with conditional logic, a barcode generation wizard, password protection for the generated PDFs and more.
iText also received a 2021 Bronze Stevie Award earlier this year from the American Business Awards® (ABA) for Most Innovative Company of the Year - Up to 100 Employees, marking the second consecutive year awarded in this category and sixth consecutive year recognized by ABA overall.
