Press Room
Seagull Scientific Recognized as a "Top 25" Supply Chain
Company
BELLEVUE, WA, USA—On November 7, 2002, we at Seagull were informed by the
editors of Frontline Solutions magazine of our selection as a "Top 25" company
by a combined group of their readers and an industry consortium.
In addition, Seagull was one of only three companies selected as "Head of
Class" in the category of Printing. We should emphasize that this didn't refer
to just printing software, but label printing in general. When you
consider that we were listed right next to Zebra, the largest manufacturer of
label printers in the world, it is no exaggeration to say that we are literally
in very good company.
The full survey was not limited to just software companies or even auto ID
companies. Rather, the broader category of "supply chain" companies was
evaluated, which incorporates a far broader group of industry leaders
representing a variety of products and technologies.
Our official notification from Frontline reads:
Your selection to this elite group demonstrates the high regard of
your customers and business partners. Your company was chosen by the votes of
enterprise users and resellers who subscribe to Frontline Solutions magazine,
along with input from Frontline Solutions editors and three leading industry
analysts - AMR Research, Venture Development, and ARC Advisory Group. Placement
in the Top 25 requires both superior products and the highest standards of
customer service.
We see this recognition as especially powerful for a number of reasons: One is
that the reader portion of the poll was based on large system ("enterprise")
users and resellers. We see this as a strong indication that our heavy
investment in new enterprise integration capabilities for our BarTender
software is paying off.
Next, as stated in the notification, we note that the survey included feedback
from three industry analyst groups: AMR Research, Venture Development and ARC
Advisory Group. These are companies that work with and get their information
directly from industry, rather than from the magazine itself.
Finally,
we can't overlook the fact that we were selected by the Frontline
editors themselves, the managing staff of a publication recognized around the
world as the largest and most authoritative periodical on auto ID and supply
chain products.
Given the stature some of the companies and brand names Seagull has been
grouped with, we are most proud of our "Top 25" and "Head of Class"
recognition.
