SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaspersoft, the intelligence inside apps and business processes, today announced that it has been selected as a candidate for Red Herring's 2012 Top 100 Global award, a prestigious recognition honoring the year's most audacious and far-reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe. Jaspersoft was also recently named a Red Herring Top 100 North America Tech Startup.

The Red Herring editorial team selected the companies demonstrating the most innovative technologies and business models originating from over 1000 companies from over 40 nations. These companies are judged on a range of qualitative and quantitative metrics, including, but not limited to, technology innovation, financial performance, growth criterion, management's execution standards, potential globalization of the strategy and market share improvement.

"Technology companies are becoming the bright spot in the economic outlook based on their increasing role within macro-economic environments," stated Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. "2012 has confirmed the sector's vibrant activity and its resilience to widespread economic problems. An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are attempting to jump ahead of the competition and aspire to make a difference. Breakthroughs obsolete each other faster than ever before. Jaspersoft has performed exceptionally in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global Finalists. At this stage, we are left with the daunting task to select the best qualified companies for the 2012 Top 100 Global Award."

"Jaspersoft is honored to be recognized by Red Herring for our work building a valuable company that successfully serves its customers and community," said Brian Gentile, Jaspersoft CEO.
