2010 Winners "Buy-Side Technology Awards"

The winner announcements are out. However, none of the awarded products have a significant client base in Germany, except StatPro, Charles River, Algorithmics and SmartStream. BISAM and Cadis are making quite some efforts to enter the market though.

Interestingly, Cadis has won the "Best Overall Buy-Side Product for 2010" award!

The selection of most products may have been expected or are at least not surprising, from my point of view. The selection of Advent as the "Best overall buy-side technology vendor 2007" and even more so Advent Geneva as "Best buy-side portfolio accounting platform" is at least surprising to me. Has this been a worldwide selection ?
