| New Name Announced for the EICC Assessment Technology Platform: And the Winners Are...
EICC will make the new Enablon system available for EICC member companies and suppliers in mid-August. A contest was held to name the new system, and over 22 names were submitted. The Project Viva Work Group narrowed the list to five names based on creativity, relevance to the system, support of the objectives, and usability (names already in use by others were eliminated). The top names were reviewed for trademark infringement.
We have two winners! The new system will be called EICC-On. The winning name was submitted by Lynne Tracey at XP Power and Hosung Joo at LG Electronics. They will share a $500 gift certificate. Thank you to all members who submitted an entry!
