FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Everdream, the leading provider of on-demand desktop management services, today announced that it has been awarded for the second consecutive time the 'Best Midmarket Solution Services' Midsize Enterprise Innovation(TM) Award by attendees at the Midsize Enterprise Summit held last month. Produced by Vision Events(R), a Gartner, Inc. company, Midsize Enterprise Summit is solely focused on the requirements of midsized businesses, and attracts CIOs and senior IT executives from midsized companies across a wide range of industries.

Everdream is the market leader in on-demand desktop management services that enable greater visibility into hardware and software assets, better and more uniform desktop protection for unparalleled business uptime, and superior end-user satisfaction while significantly reducing the total cost of ownership. Built around a Software-as-a-Service model, the company's solution provides an integrated offering of on-demand software and managed services that are activated with a simple Internet connection.

Hundreds of senior IT Executives attending Midsize Enterprise Summit completed confidential ballots to select technology vendors for Midsize Enterprise Innovation Awards after previewing and learning about new technologies and services in private boardroom appointments and world premiere presentations. During the September 20th awards ceremony, corporate sponsors and vendors were recognized for their achievements.

"The proliferation of PCs, laptops, and software requires companies to proactively protect and centrally manage all of these assets. While important, these tasks are not core to any company's primary line of business. This is especially important for the mid-market where IT resources are often constrained," said Mark Hoffman, president and CEO of Everdream. "Many companies spend valuable resources to support desktop management, which should be out-tasked in order to free up these resources for more strategic functions. To this end, Everdream's on-demand platform provides a very compelling business case for the mid-sized company."
