VMLogix, Inc., a leading provider of virtual lab automation solutions that help software companies and IT organizations leverage virtualization to consolidate lab infrastructure and automate build and test processes, today announced that VMLogix LabManager 3.0 has been named a finalist in the Software & Information Industry Association's (SIIA) 23rd Annual CODiE Awards, in the Best Software Testing Solution category. VMLogix LabManager accelerates test cycles, automates the building and rebuilding of multi-machine test configurations, and deploys and synchronizes these test scenarios on-demand -- all while improving product quality and reducing overall software lifecycle costs.

The SIIA CODiE Awards recognize outstanding achievement and vision in the software, digital information and education technology industries. This year, vendors in 31 software categories competed in what is the only peer-recognition awards program of its kind in the industry. Each vendor is reviewed and evaluated by leading representatives in the software and information industry trade press, mainstream technology writers, analysts, consultants and subject-matter experts. The rankings of nominees by first round judges determine the CODiE Awards Finalists. The second round will commence in March and is a peer-review process in which SIIA member companies review the finalists and cast votes for winners in each category.

"Being chosen as a CODiE Awards finalist highlights VMLogix LabManager as a powerful product for ISVs and test and quality assurance engineers," said Sameer Dholakia, CEO of VMLogix. "LabManager offers a comprehensive, best-in-class product for automating software test environments, and we are honored to have it recognized as such by the SIIA judges."

"Competition is tough this year and that makes selection as a CODiE Finalist a real achievement," said Ken Wasch, SIIA president. "All the companies on this year's list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition."

The 23rd Annual CODiE Awards Gala will be held on May 20, 2008 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, where winners will be formally announced. To access a complete list of 2008 CODiE Awards finalists, please visit: http://www.siia.net/codies/2008/finalists.asp.
