IBDNetwork's distinguished selection committee chose the thirty MOMENTUM 2006 finalists based on key company and market measurements.

"With this prestigious invitation, all of our Momentum companies are being recognized as 'ones to watch.'

"It is an honor to be recognized by IBDNetwork as a result of our hard work and the OpenLaszlo community's dedication," said Laszlo's Chairman and CEO, Steve Ciesinski.
