These new categories recognize applications, products and services from developers of educational software, digital content, online learning services, and related technologies across the K-20 sector.  The 2015 ABAs will recognize educational products and services that were introduced to the marketplace since January 1, 2014.  Nominated products and services may be brand new or new versions of existing products. **Information required for nominations to these categories include:** a.

Optional (but highly recommended), a collection of supporting files and web addresses that you may upload to our server to support your entry and provide more background information to the judges.  For new product/service entries these uploads and links might include product demonstration videos, product reviews, images, etc. Here, then, are the new categories for educational products and services.

Every one of the Stevie Awards competitions has some number of categories to recognize new products and services. Each year the Stevie Awards receive thousands of new product nominations. As in all categories in Stevie Awards competitions, winners are determined by several hundred professionals around the world, acting as judges. (For a description of the judging and awards process, [read this article](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/483/483_2644_20968.cfm).) **Let's begin here with the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards**, which are in their second year. These awards are open to all organizations operating in the [22 nations](http://asia.stevieawards.com/entry-criteria) of the Asia-Pacific region. The final entry deadline for this competition this year is March 11. Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners will be announced on April 1, and the winners celebrated during a gala event in Shanghai, China on May 15. Nominated products and services in the Asia-Pacific awards may be completely new *or* new versions of pre-existing offerings. The 2015 awards will recognize new products, or new versions of products, issued since July 1 2013, the beginning of the eligibility period. This year's competition features 51 [new product awards categories](http://asia.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards), alphabetically from Business-to-Business Products to Transportation products and services. Thirty of those 51 categories are for software products of various types. What do you need to prepare to enter the new product categories in the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards? Just an essay of up to 625 words, describing the nominated product or service, including its features, functions, benefits, and market performance to date.

Hundreds of those nominations were of new products and services. The 2015 competition has three entry deadlines. Winners will be announced in August, and the winners celebrated during an event in Toronto, Canada in October. [See the full IBA calendar here](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/483/483_2641_20972.cfm#IBA15). Nominated products and services in the IBAs may be completely new *or* new versions of pre-existing offerings. The 2015 awards will recognize new or new-version products issued since January 1, 2014. Like the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the IBAs also feature 51 [new product awards categories](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2214_20886.cfm). However, the IBAs also offer the opportunity seek recognition for your entire product development team, in a category called **Product Development/Management Department or Team of the Year**, as well as for your team's fearless leader, in a category named **Product Development/Management Executive of the Year. ** Entries to these IBA categories require the submission of an essay of up to 650 words, describing the nominated product or service, including its features, functions, benefits, and market performance to date.

The 2015 awards will recognize new or new-version products issued since January 1, 2014.

[See the full list of ABA new product categories](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/awards/70_816_14101.cfm). **There are 28 categories for software products of various types, 20 categories for a variety of other product types, and two completely new category groups: **24 categories for **Content-related** products and services, such as Content Marketing Solutions, Mobile Publishing Technology, and Service Using Aggregated Content; and 26 categories for **Education-related** offerings, including Classroom Management Solution, K-12 Enterprise Solution, and Solution for Special Needs Students, among others.

The competition also features categories that recognize new products and services used by these professionals.  (Entries to the 2014 edition are now being accepted - [**learn more here**](http://www.stevieawards.com/sales).) * *Here we look at how Navantis has partnered with NBC News to advance online learning technologies.* It’s 3:00AM in the morning. A college student has a paper due at 9:00AM. In a remote farming community, a grade ten student is studying for an exam and struggling to download a required video assignment. Long after putting her own children to bed, a public school teacher is completing her lesson plan. All of these scenarios are real and all of these people expect the [NBC Learn](http://www.nbclearn.com/) website to be available at any time of the day or night to help them meet their professional and classroom commitments. NBC Learn is the educational arm of NBC News and is dedicated to making historic stories, images, and primary source documents available on-demand to teachers, students, and parents by providing access to more than 14,000 stories from the NBC News archives—one of the largest news archives in the world, with records dating back to the 1920s. **A State-of-the-art Call Center** NBC Learn’s hundreds of thousands of clients—teachers, students, and parents—rely on being able to access the website from a PC, MAC, or iPad, at school or at home, 24/7. They expect a site that is always available and with technical support that is always on. Providing high-quality technical support around the clock and being able to solve every kind of issue facing every type of user was a challenge. Realizing they couldn’t do it alone, NBC Learn turned to the expert technical Call Center team at Navantis for help. ![Karl Weiss](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-273129656-jpg/images/karlweiss.jpg)Under the leadership of Vice President Client Support Karl Weiss, [Navantis](http://navantis.com/) operates a state-of-the-art call center incorporating voice calls, email, chat, collaboration, and remote technical assist.

An advanced offering that Navantis includes is usage tracking, which helps to identify schools with reduced participation. Once identified, the Navantis reach- out program encourages online training through webinars, resulting in better understanding, awareness, and increased usage of the NBC Learn offerings while also ensuring that 21st century education continues to help teachers and students improve skills and knowledge.** ** **Building a Brighter Future** “Nobody else in our industry is able to approach the level of content and support provided by NBC Learn, making us the most competitive and compelling solution in the market today,” commented Michael Levin, Director of Sales and Technical Operations at NBC Learn. “Navantis has completed our service offering by providing a seamless experience for our community and becoming a trusted member of our team.

Here we look at how this global technology company affects all of us in one way or another.* Edwards Group Limited (NASDAQ: EVAC), the UK-based manufacturer of sophisticated vacuum products and abatement systems and a provider of related value-added services, beat off stiff competition from across the globe when its class-leading CXS dry vacuum pump was named a Best New Product in The 2012 International Business Awards.

On winning last year’s award, Sia Abbaszadeh, Edwards’ Chief Technology and Marketing Officer, commented: “2012 was truly a golden year for Edwards. After being honored with a momentous seventh [Queen’s Award](http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/Prizesandawards/QueensAwardforEnterprise.aspx) earlier in the year for our nEXT turbomolecular pump, and then successfully listing on the NASDAQ market, we were delighted to build on our success with a Gold Stevie® Award.” “To have received this accolade for the CXS, so soon after its launch, was testament to the hard work and expertise of all those at Edwards who were involved in its conception. This award has set the CXS’ credentials beyond refute and places Edwards at the forefront of international innovation.” **Standing Out from the Competition** Edwards CXS is the latest generation dry vacuum pump for harsh chemical and pharmaceutical processing applications, and builds on Edwards’ strong record of innovation and application expertise. Since its introduction in 2011, it has set new industry standards for reliability, performance, and control. Two elements of the cutting-edge CXS set it apart from competitor pumps. The novel tapered screw technology facilitates excellent liquid and solids handling leading to high operational reliability while providing deep vacuum down to 10-3 mbar. The range of built-in control and safety features makes the CXS easier and cheaper to install when compared to some pumps currently available on the market. Edwards believes this is the first “plug and pump” system. The development of the CXS has proved to be a crucial tipping point for vacuum, taking the technology from “specialist equipment” to “utility.” **About Sia Abbaszadeh** Sia Abbaszadeh has served as Edwards’ Chief Technology & Marketing Officer since June 2010. Sia joined Edwards in November 1989 to lead new product development programs in semiconductor vacuum pumping. He has subsequently built a broad base of New Product Introduction capability for all the product and application sectors within Edwards. His responsibilities have included delivery of strategic growth plans by leading new product and technology development for the Semiconductor, Flat Panel Displays, and Emerging Technologies sectors.

We look at how Litle & Co. is reducing these risks.* ![Jason Pavone](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-13812739-jpg/images/1211litle.jpg)Industry statistics in the United States suggest that there were more than 900 data breaches involving more than 900 million credit card records in 2009 alone, yet the majority of merchants still keep customers’ credit card numbers on file. Meanwhile, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards for data security are still evolving as they relate to Data Loss Protection (DLP) technologies. **Ahead of the Competition** Litle & Co. has developed a forward-looking solution that protects consumer data. The company believes that tokenization is the next step in enabling safe removal of sensitive cardholder data from merchant systems. The company is ahead of other solution vendors in proactively addressing vulnerabilities in the payment chain of card transactions in order to protect merchants and, ultimately, consumers. “We believe that best practice approaches in business-to-business customer service should include those in which the design, goal, and benefit is focused not just on the customer, but also on the customer’s customer,” said Jason Pavona, Executive Vice President, Product Management at Litle & Co.  “Our product vision is simple: Build, develop, and implement solutions that help our customers create more secure, more enduring, and more profitable relationships with their customers.” The Litle Vault, introduced in September 2010, is a web-driven, platform-integrated, tokenization solution that enables card-not-present (CNP) merchants to safely remove sensitive cardholder data from their systems without disrupting any existing card transaction-based process.  The service is delivered directly to Litle’s customers, and therefore to their customers, through the Litle payment-processing platform. Tokens replace credit card numbers for all payment transactions including authorizations, deposits, and chargebacks.  **Handling the Customers’ Data ** Litle Vault removes merchants’ data security encumbrances so they can focus on selling. Instead, the onus of handling most of the data management is moved to Litle & Co, so the merchants’ customers’ card data exists only on an offsite server that specializes in handling payment data. The Vault makes electronic commerce more efficient, safe, and profitable by: • **Reducing the scope of PCI Compliance** Whenever sensitive cardholder data is replaced with a token and used in association with operational areas such as acceptance of online payments, cardholder data storage, and chargeback processing, it can reduce the scope of PCI audits and associated costs by as much as 60%. • **Minimizing the risk from potential data breaches ** Data breaches do and will happen. However, with the Vault, hackers cannot steal what merchants don’t have: the customer’s credit card information. In the event tokens are compromised, cyber-thieves will quickly find that the tokens are completely worthless to them. • **Centralizing credit card security and reducing data exposure** Once registered, a single token can be used by anyone in an organization, mitigating the time-consuming and often costly process of having to encrypt, decrypt, and re-encrypt information each time someone touches a customer’s credit card. • **Eliminating insurance costs** Tokenization is a preventive measure that minimizes the cost of a data breach risk. It also potentially enables a merchant to eliminate certain onerous insurance premiums that can often run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. With tokenization, a component of the Errors and Omissions (E&O) Liability Insurance premium cost—typically $0.60 per card annually—can be eliminated.** ** **Industry Endorsement** “Tokenization of payment card data has quickly become a must-have for e-commerce and direct-response merchants whose web presence exposes them to a great deal of breach risk and who are seeking to reduce their PCI scope,” said David Fish, Senior Analyst at [Mercator Advisory Group](http://www.mercatoradvisorygroup.com/), the leading research and consulting firm focused on the payments industry.  “Litle & Co. has earned the reputation of a trusted partner in the card-not-present space, where their expertise in dealing with transaction data security in card processing environments has coalesced in … Litle Vault." **About Jason Pavone **Jason brings more than 15 years of product development, direct marketing, sales, and entrepreneurial experience to Litle & Co.  Jason leads Litle’s Sales & Marketing strategy, which includes business development and sales; product strategy and development; brand awareness marketing and communications; and partner communities and initiatives.  Before joining Litle, Jason served as a Partner of Enflect, LLC, which developed several product companies in the payment, loyalty, financial services, and software industries.  Prior to Enflect, Jason developed Wallaware, Inc., a wireless router company, where he drove the company’s first U.S and International sales, raised several rounds of private equity capital, and opened operations in the US and internationally.  Before Wallaware, Jason was Director of Wireless and Personalization at Terra Lycos, a top-three most-visited Internet destination.  At Terra Lycos he created some of the first wireless portal solutions, available in 30 countries under the brand Lycos Anywhere®.   He also managed Terra Lycos’s Network Personalization products, including MyLycos®, the award-winning personalization destination with 20 million registered users.

We asked the mother-and-daughter team behind this successful company how they came up with their innovative idea.  (All of the Stevie Awards competitions have [new product awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/sales/awards/398_2048_13359.cfm#Product) categories - check out the categories in the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service - final entry deadline of January 18 2012).* ![Agloves](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-13812733-jpg/images/1211aglove.jpg?width=252&height=167&name=1211aglove.jpg)In February 2010, when Jennifer Spencer went to Washington D.C. to visit her daughter, Jean, it was extremely cold and the streets were lined with dirty snow. Jean, who was working as an intern for the *Wall Street Journal*, was using an iPhone to keep in touch with her office.  While walking along the street, Jean told her mother: “Mom, I am missing calls from my Editor.  When my phone rings, I have to find my phone in my bag, pull off my gloves with my teeth, and then shove them in my pocket in order to take the call.”  She added: “You have to invent gloves that work on touch screens!” Jean was simply echoing the problem that smartphone and tablet users know only too well: regular gloves don’t work on touch screens. Fortunately for Jean, her mother is both an entrepreneur and a woman of great resourcefulness. The idea intrigued her. **How Do Touch Screens Work?** Jennifer began by studying how touch screens work. Contrary to popular belief, touch screens are not heat sensitive.  They are capacitive, meaning that the screens respond when tiny amounts of moisture, salts, and oils in the skin allow electrons to flow between you and your device. However, when something non-conductive comes between you and your device—such as an ordinary pair of gloves—the touch screen doesn’t respond and the device won’t work. For Jennifer, the solution was obvious: Create a warm glove that would be able to conduct the body’s own bioelectricity to the capacitive touch screen. **A Warm—and Anti-Microbial—Solution** And so a new product was born: Agloves®. Ag is the symbol for silver on the periodic table and is the most conductive element. With Agloves, the body’s natural bioelectricity flows through the glove to your touch screen device and maintains near-perfect connection. Agloves combine a snug, user-friendly design with tech-savvy functionality. The gloves deliver incredible accuracy and intuitive operation. Wearers can swipe, pinch, and pull their touch screens at the same speed they would with bare hands. An added bonus is that, in addition to being conductive, silver is a thermal regulator, making the gloves warmer than most knit gloves—and antimicrobial. **Beating the Competition** The next step was to commercialize the product. Circumventing the traditional brick and mortar retail strategy, Agloves launched its ecommerce website on September 29, 2010. Working as a mother-daughter team, Jennifer and Jean used an innovative social media strategy to introduce their new product. While their new company was not able to afford television advertising, it needed to level the playing field when it came to competition from other computer accessory and glove companies. And that is exactly what Agloves did by its savvy use of social media. Agloves received wide online media coverage. The gloves were acknowledged as one of CNET’s “Best of CES 2011” and among MSNBC’s “Top Winter Gadgets 2010.” *PCMag* included Agloves in its "Best Winter Gadget List 2011," and MacWorld gave Agloves four mice.  Other media coverage included Fox Business News, *The New York Times*, Yahoo News, AP, National Public Radio, and Gizmodo.com. **What’s Not to (Ag)Love?** By December 2010, Agloves touch screen gloves had sold in 43 countries and were selling at a rate of a pair a minute. Tech-savvy consumers around the globe are falling in love with Agloves. **About Jennifer and Jean Spencer** Jennifer Spencer is a creative thinker and entrepreneur who has been instrumental in myriad start-up companies and innovations over the last 20 years. Jennifer's marketing and business development strategies have provided successful solutions for her clients. Jennifer is president of Agloves. Jean Spencer is VP of Communication. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Jean decided to take a leap from the world of newsprint into the world of online communications. Jean heads all things social, communicative, and networked for Agloves including media relations, PR, social media, and the company’s online presence. **About AGloves** Agloves® is a patent-pending winter touch screen glove company.  The Boulder, Colorado-based business launched September 29, 2010 and currently employs seven people.  Agloves was globally successful right from the start.  Within three months of launching the business, Agloves had sold roughly 60,000 pairs of gloves in 43 countries worldwide from their online store, [www.Agloves.com](http://www.agloves.com/).   Agloves is currently expanding into retail sales in the [European Union.](http://www.agloves.eu/) ***What is your favorite inspirational new product idea story?*** 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/bid/69094/Touch-Screen-Gloves-Inspirational-New-Product-Award-Story#comments-listing) Topics: [business awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/topic/business-awards), [stevie awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/topic/stevie-awards), [product of the year](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/topic/product-of-the-year), [new product awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/topic/new-product-awards), [best new product](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/topic/best-new-product) ## [People's Choice Stevie Awards for New Products Award Winners](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/bid/55322/People-s-Choice-Stevie-Awards-for-New-Products-Award-Winners) Posted by [Michael Gallagher](https://blog.stevieawards.com/new-product-awards/author/michael-gallagher) on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 @ 05:26 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![People's Choice Stevie Award for Favorite New Product](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-13813286-jpg/images/peopleschoicestevieawardima.jpg)After more than 140,000 votes were cast in May and June by people across the U.S.A. in this year's People's Choice Stevie Awards for Favorite New Products, a feature of the annual [American Business Awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/aba), here are the winners of this year's crystal People's Choice Stevie Awards, announced at the 9th annual ABA awards banquet in New York on Monday evening: Favorite New Computer Hardware Product: Zebra Technologies’ ‘RXi4’ Radio Frequency Identification Printer Favorite New Computer Service: Premiere Global Services' iMeet® Favorite New Computer Software - New Version: PetRays DICOM Sender 2.3.2 Favorite New Consumer Product: Reliv International's Reliv 24K Favorite New Desktop/End-User Software Product: PetRays Accelerator Favorite New Financial Service: www.AmberMcGown.com Favorite New Health Product or Service: PetRays 30 Minute STAT Service Favorite New Manufacturing Product: SYSPRO Inventory Optimization Favorite New Media or Entertainment Product: USANA Health Sciences' Health and Freedom Solution DVD Favorite New Server Software Product: Datacert Passport Favorite New Service: PetRays Image Vault Favorite New Smartphone: Apple iPhone 4 Favorite New Smartphone or Tablet App: Humana’s MyHumana Mobile App Favorite New Software as a Service: Saba Software's Saba Live Favorite New Tablet: Motorola Xoom Favorite New Telecom Product or Service: Broadview’s OfficeSuite ACD Congratulations to them all!
