The INNOVATIONSPREIS from the German “Initiative Mittelstand” (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Initiative) bridges innovation and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by distinguishing the most innovative and most SME-suitable products and solutions every year, and thereby attracting the attention of the media. The award meets the need of SMEs for practice-oriented know-how and information transfer in the area of IT and communications, and gives these enterprises impulses to increase their competitive power.
Singled out by a high-profile jury of scientists, industry experts and specialist journalists, the winning products stand for a high level of innovation and SME suitability.
The Minister of Innovation of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Andreas Pinkwart, is delighted that the prize is being awarded again: “It contributes to the recognition culture of those enterprises whose innovations show that today, they’re already thinking of tomorrow.”

Roland Hopkins, technical director Opus Telecom, explained how the product has helped their own business:
“The potential of Siemens Enterprise Communications HiPath OpenOffice ME is huge. Initially, we were keen to deploy HiPath OpenOffice to help deliver a stable and read-to-use system – and have a play with it to make sure it was the right solution for our clients. But we were unprepared for the direct benefits to our own business. Having ripped and replaced our entire existing communication infrastructure in favour of the all-IP HiPath OpenOffice solution, the switch over took a matter of hours. This was an easy and straightforward process and once we went live we were able to see how good this product really is. Integrating the presence functionality of HiPath OpenOffice into Microsoft Outlook has revolutionised the way we organize meetings, the auto-attendant function is vital for reception staff; and by offering call recording with the press of a button our sales people can replay calls without traveling though a centralised call server.
For our customers, the HiPath OpenOffice is quite simply a fantastic piece of kit- for everyone from home to office workers.”
