Treering is a finalist for the 2014 red herring top 100 award
San Mateo, CA - May 5th, 2014 – Treering Corporation announced today it had been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 North America award, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the North American business region.
Red Herring has been selecting the most exciting and promising start-ups and "scale ups" since 1995. Finalists are still evaluated individually from a large pool of hundreds of candidates based across North America. Twenty major criteria underlie the scoring and process. They include, among others: the candidate company's addressable market size, its IP and patents, its financing, the proof of concept, trailing revenues and management's expertise. Each company goes through an individual interview after filling out a thorough submission, complemented by a due diligence. The list of finalists often includes the best performing and prominent companies of that year.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the company’s actual track record and standing, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
2014 will be remembered as a special vintage. "The finalists list confirms the excellent choices made by entrepreneurs and VCs and the start-ups' solid roots in corporate America, embracing their innovations. By all metrics, it emphasizes the United States’ entrepreneurial excellence," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring.
Finalist selections for the 2014 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award are based upon technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition and financial health. During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the fields of security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, life sciences, cloud, mobile and others completed their submissions to qualify for the award.
Finalists are asked to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring North America Forum in Monterey, Calif., May 14 to 16, 2014. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony the evening of May 16 at the event.

District Administration Magazine Awards Treering 2010 Readers’ Choice Top 100 Product
District Administration—the most-read magazine of America’s school district leaders—announces Treering as a recipient of the Readers’ Choice Top 100 Products of 2010.
Redwood City, CA – December 2, 2010.— Readers of District Administration are the top public school administrators in the country, and they know from experience what works and what does not work within their districts. As part of its annual award program, District Administration asked its readers to nominate the hardware, software, books and materials, Web sites, or facilities products that have made a positive difference in their districts in 2010. Treering’s customizable yearbooks that eliminate costs for school’s earned the distinction this year in its first time nominated.
The winning products were determined by the quantity of nominations received per product as well as evaluating the quality of readers’ nominations and explanations. The 2010 winners were selected from hundreds of nominations received over the last six months, a significant increase in participation from the previous year. “These product recommendations included extensive descriptions from school administrators of how these products are used in their districts, making it very challenging to choose the top 100 products. We hope these products, and their accompanying testimonials, will act as a valuable resource for our readers,” says District Administration’s editor in chief, Judy Faust Hartnett.
“This year’s winners were a very diverse group of products, ranging from classroom resources to district-level management tools,” says Kurt Eisele-Dyrli, products editor. “Many of them, from online assessments and notification systems to thin clients and projectors, enabled readers to do more with less, which reflects the challenging times faced by many school systems.”
“It is an incredible honor to receive District Administration’s Top 100 Product award. It’s quite humbling to be mentioned alongside Apple’s iPad and Amazon’s Kindle as the best products of the year for schools. The excitement our customers have for our product drive us to continue to improve the product and revolutionize how yearbooks are created and purchased.” said Kevin Zerber, Treering Co-Founder.

Treering wins two awards for achievement in web development
Both the IMA and WMA awards are judged on various criteria, including design, usability, innovation in technical features, standards compliance, and content by independent judges. In order to win the awards Treering's scores had to beat out hundreds of other sites to earn the top honors.
A judge from the Web Marketing Association had this to say about Treering, "Well done site that deserves more attention. I wish the site had been around in my school days."
Aaron Greco, CEO and Head of Products at Treering, said, “We want our site to be as intuitive and accessible as possible for our users at schools across the nation. We’ve built it keeping our clients in mind – busy students, teachers, and parents who are strapped for time. The ten minutes they have between putting the kids to bed and making their lunches for the next day is precious, and need a tool that is simple and fun to use. Throughout the design process, this has been a priority, and it’s nice to have our effort recognized by both the Web Marketing Association and the Interactive Media Awards’ stamps of excellence.”
