Dow Jones & Company announced that the Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group, including recently acquired Generate, won four 2008 SIIA Codie Awards

at the gala held May 20, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

Dow Jones SalesWorks won 2008 Best Online Directory & Business Leads Service as well as 2008 Best Online Business Information Service, while Generate won 2008 Best Content Newcomer, and its gClick product was recognized for 2008 Best Content Aggregation Service.

Dow Jones SalesWorks is a sales enablement solution designed to help professionals win business and drive revenue. The product was recognized for its comprehensiveness and usability in providing directory and business lead data as well as company, business and industry information. gClick, which allows users to dynamically extract real-time business intelligence from any Web page, was recognized for its effectiveness in combining third-party content for distribution to wholesale or retail markets. Generate was honored as a new information company whose product or service has the potential to significantly impact information aggregation. Generate was acquired by Dow Jones in April 2008 and combined with Dow Jones SalesWorks to form a new business unit within the Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group called the Business & Relationship Intelligence group.

"During uncertain economic times, companies invest in products and services that enable client-facing staff to be more productive, gain competitive advantage and drive revenue; Dow Jones SalesWorks and gClick are such products," said Clare Hart, executive vice president of Dow Jones and president of Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group. "These awards reinforce why our customers rely on Dow Jones content, technology and services to make informed business decisions that truly power intelligent enterprises."

The Codie Awards holds the distinction of being the only peer-recognition awards program of its kind in the industry, providing an opportunity for companies to earn the praise of their competitors.
