Helius, Inc. named as finalist in 2006 American Business Awards

Helius, Inc., the worldwide leader in business class IP broadcasting solutions, was named a Finalist for its solution with digital signage networks in the Best New Product or Service category in The 2006 American Business Awards.

The expansion of DVR technology has become the bane of television advertisers everywhere. The new change is driving the demand for alternative advertising outlets. Helius, Inc. powers a satellite- or terrestrial-based content distribution system that meets the design and technological demands of businesses and advertisers, as well as providing a cost-effective, point-to-multipoint solution through a digital network.

“It’s an honor to be recognized as a finalist in The 2006 American Business Awards with our digital signage solution,” said Ron Heinz, Chairman and CEO of Helius, Inc. “Helius enables the delivery of video and data content to digital displays replacing traditional printed signage. Digital Signage presents the right message at the right time, to the right audience.”

Hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” by the New York Post (April 27, 2005), The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances in the workplace.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word “crowned,” winners will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than 800 executives from across the U.S.A. are expected to attend. The ceremonies will be videocast on the Internet and broadcast on radio.

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie Award winners this week from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in March through early May.

“Being named a Finalist in The American Business Awards is an important achievement,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. “It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of national recognition. We congratulate all of the Finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition.”
