Iotum Wins Award
Canada's version of the high-tech Oscars was held yesterday with Iotum snagging an award in the emerging technology category. It has been quite a run for the Ottawa-based telecom start-up, highlighted by Demo God honours at the Demo show in Phoenix earlier this year. Now, all Iotum needs is a user-friendly VC so it can boost sales of its relevance engine. Aside from cool technology, another thing Iotum has going for it is PR savvy (it helps having Andy Abramson onboard). COO Howard Thaw's RedBerry was recently featured in a media report. Not content to accept a black Blackberry, Thaw went to an auto body shop for some custom work. Nice.
