QuikCycle Software Wins 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award

Santa Clara, CA, July 11, 2007—QuikCycle™, Inc., a leader in solutions for lab automation and test management software, announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) named QuikCycle Automation Suite™ software as a 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award winner presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

QuikCycle Automation Suite software fundamentally changes the way that networks and network-related equipment are tested, by automating critical steps in the test lifecycle before products or services are introduced into the marketplace. As a result, telecommunications companies and network equipment manufacturers can perform more networking testing in less time, more reliably and at less expense – all helping to give them a competitive advantage in the delivery of exciting new IPTV, VoIP, IMS and wireless solutions. The suite provides for both automated lab and test management.

"We are honored to have the QuikCycle Automation Suite recognized with the TMC Labs Innovation Award for excellence in the advancement of IP communications," said Nariman Teymourian, QuikCycle Chairman and CEO. "IP-based networks have become the backbone for delivery of innovative content and services that are transforming the way individuals and businesses work, learn and communicate. But with increased adoption and growth of complex IP networks comes greater pressure on their reliability and scalability, which can only be proven through rigorous pre-production testing. By reducing costly, manual steps in the test process, lab and test automation speeds time to market with no loss in quality of service. This award is a powerful testament to QuikCycle’s commitment to automation best practices."

"The QuikCycle Automation Suite is clearly deserving of recognition in the networking technology sector of the IP Communications industry. We’re proud to reward their hard work with a TMC Labs Innovation Award this year," said TMC President Rich Tehrani.

According to Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs Editorial Director at TMC, "The Innovation Awards exemplify the best and the most unique products and services that this industry has to offer. QuikCycle has demonstrated a commitment to quality, and a commitment to the further development of the IP communications industry through its Automation Suite. QuikCycle deserves this great honor, and I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from them as they continue to contribute to the future of IP communications."

The TMC Labs Innovation Awards honor products that demonstrate raw innovation, unique features, and significant contributions toward improving communications technology. The TMC Labs Innovation Awards are not granted only to the best-selling products, but instead to those demonstrating raw innovation, uniqueness, and representing a significant contribution to the industry. 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award winners can be found in the July and August 2007 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
