TORONTO - Prinova Corp., a leader in developing and delivering innovative software and services within the Customer Communications Management (CCM) market,  announces that for the second year  its award-winning Messagepoint®, a hybrid cloud-based content management platform, is a finalist in the 2016-2017 Cloud Awards Program, in the Best Hybrid Cloud Solution category. The international cloud computing awards program celebrates excellence and innovation in the rapid-growth cloud computing market.

“In our sixth year of recognizing and celebrating excellence and innovation in the cloud, the standard of entries has been staggering,” Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson said. “This high level of excellence is reflected in the size of organization we are seeing enter—from start-ups to blue chips, and everything in between. But it’s also the sheer global presence of cloud technologies, and innovators outside of the US, that have started to become more prominent this year.

Messagepoint—a powerful hybrid cloud-based content management platform serving the customer communications management needs of large enterprise clients—provides an intuitive and secure environment for business users to directly own and control touchpoint messaging content and business rules driving the pace of change for customer-facing print and digital communications. Messagepoint, a finalist in the 2015-2016 Cloud Awards, also won the coveted 2016 Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) CODiE Award for Best Multi-channel Publishing Platform.

“This recognition of Messagepoint’s excellence in providing an innovative cloud technology is a reflection of our commitment to go beyond complex production processes with a solution that makes it easy to quickly create, test and approve content across print and digital channels, without requiring IT resources,” said Nick Romano, co-founder and CEO, Prinova Corp. “We are very proud to be recognized as a finalist for this for this award.”
