BOSTON, August 28th, 2008 -- PaperThin, Inc., a leading Web content management software vendor, today announced that CommonSpot has been named a “Trend-Setting Product of 2008” by KMWorld. The complete list is featured in the September issue of KMWorld magazine and online at www.kmworld.com.

Each year, analysts, integrators, a select group of users and KMWorld editorial staff evaluate countless knowledge management solutions and cull a list of vendors whose respective solutions provide the best customer value. The solutions on this year’s list incorporate content management, workflow, collaboration and an ability to serve a wide variety of industries. Above all, each vendor honored on the list is acknowledged for its willingness to listen to and serve its customers.

“Our standards are higher every year, and the breadth of product capabilities continues to expand,” said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor-in-chief. "This year's edition has been compiled through briefings with vendors themselves, along with conversations with analysts, users and system integrators. Our mission selecting this year's products has been deceptively simple: Select those that deliver robust customer value."

“We have found that the key to delivering a high level of product value and the best customer experience comes down to one word – listen,” said Todd Peters, founder and president of PaperThin. “From interest groups to everyday interactions, our customers have provided invaluable feedback that has found its way into the latest release of CommonSpot. We’re obviously happy to see that KMWorld has once again recognized the success of that customer collaboration.”
