Recognizing the leading sites for e-business transactions is part of The Keynote Performance Awards, which is slated to kick off the Forrester event. In determining the online trading awards, Keynote aggregated data from its Web broker transaction index, which covered a period between March 2003 and April 2004. The awards are based on Web site performance and transaction reliability.
"The Keynote Performance Awards are an excellent way to honor and encourage the many people within an enterprise that keep a site running fast and reliably 24 hours a day, seven days a week," says Arnold Waldstein, vice president of marketing at Keynote. "In today's complex and distributed e-business environment, maintaining optimal site speed and reliability from the end user perspective, especially in an age of increasing cyber attacks of all kinds, is daunting. The winners of a Keynote Performance Award have every reason to feel quite proud. In addition to honoring the sites that have performed so well over time, the goal of our new awards program is to foster an environment of healthy competition among leading sites in a particular vertical and support the overall goal of Web site performance excellence."
Keynote said it plans to give out Web site performance awards for the e-commerce and online travel and hospitality industries in the coming months.
