Transis Selected by AlwaysOn as an OnDemand Top 100 Winner

Recognized for creating new opportunities in cloud computing and SaaS.

Chicago, April 6, 2010– Technology and media services company Centro, powered by Transis, announced today that Transis has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnDemand Top 100 winners.  Inclusion in the OnDemand 100 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. Transis was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Transis and the OnDemand Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s OnDemand event on April 19^th, 2010, at Hewlett-Packard’s Worldwide Headquarters in Palo Alto, CA.

This two-and-a-half-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on how the Internet is disrupting how companies—from small businesses to large enterprises—create, store, distribute, analyze, and take advantage of their mission-critical data.

“As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, analyze, and share this information is becoming extremely challenging,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “We congratulate this year’s OnDemand 100 for providing the technology platforms and services needed to manage and leverage this new era of information complexity and overload.”

The OnDemand 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders.  The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2010 list.

The fragmentation of audiences and overabundance of Web properties combined with the complexity of digital media has created an unscalable industry. Transis's Web-based system automates the process from front to back including research, site selection, negotiation, planning and buying, campaign management and billing reconciliation. Transis provides direct-to-site media buying software and brings an unprecedented level of efficiency and scalability to the digital advertising industry.

We’re excited to be able to share it with the industry.”
