VENTANA RESEARCH SELECTS BLACKLINE FOR 2016 TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION AWARD

LOS ANGELES – Oct. 18, 2016 – Ventana Research has selected BlackLine, a leading provider of financial controls and automation software, for a 2016 Technology Innovation Award for “business innovation in the office of the CFO.”

BlackLine’s Finance Controls and Automation Platform was recognized for delivering a fresh approach to Finance & Accounting known as Continuous Accounting, a model in which automation, control and tasks typically not performed until the period-end, are embedded directly within day-to-day activities, allowing the rigid accounting calendar to more closely mirror the dynamic nature of actual business cycles.

The Technology Leadership Awards cover 30 business and technology categories spanning big data to mobile technology to CIO and CFO awards. Submissions were evaluated by Ventana Research based on an established set of criteria. A complete list of categories, winners and the judging criteria can be found at www.ventanaresearch.com/awards.
