"We are honored to receive this award for one of our software solutions for the second year in a row," said Peter Eschenbach, managing director and Technology solutions leader, Huron Education.

The 'Top Product' recognition from University Business and the education community at large demonstrates that we are helping our clients apply technology to meaningfully address this critical research administration function."

The second annual University Business Readers' Choice Top Products award recognizes products that have made a positive impact at colleges and universities this year. The products were selected by the editors of University Business from nominations submitted by the readership of the magazine, and were based on both the quantity of nominations and the quality of reader nominations.
