Rensselaer, NY - Autotask's IT Services Management Software is a winner in Software Development magazine's 15th Annual Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards.

Autotask was named as a "Productivity Winner" in the competition's prestigious Management Tools category. Autotask's web-based application is used by thousands of IT Service Professionals, including MSPs, VARs, System Integrators and IT Consultants. The product helps such companies to run their business better by integrating customer data, project information, and service tickets all in a single database that is used for time capture, billing, reporting, and business management.

For the past 15 years, Software Development Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards have been presented annually to products, books and websites that have "jolted" the industry by helping to create faster, easier and more efficient software. Jolt cola, the fabled soft drink used by software developers for sustenance during development projects, sponsors the awards presentation. "This has been an exciting and challenging year of Jolt judging," says Rosalyn Lum, Software Development magazine's technical editor.

Autotask President Richard Frederick called the award a "prominent honor" that "underscores the value Autotask brings to the business process, the inherent quality of the solution itself, and its overwhelming acceptance by IT service provides and VARs around the country."

The success of Autotask is its flexibility as a suite to manage every aspect of an IT services provider's project-driven business process. Autotask is web-based, accessible via any PC, anywhere, at any time, and integrates seamlessly with MS Outlook, QuickBooks, and a number of Managed Services software applications. A recent survey revealed an average increase of 15% in captured billable time, and an 85% reduction in paperwork and data entry associated with the implementation of Autotask's time-tracking and billing solution. Management dashboards built into the software gives users a 360-degree view of their business processes, enabling them to identify areas of inefficiency and streamline operations.
