BCE Emergis Inc. today announced that it has received an E-Canada
Award in the category for companies with more than 100 employees.
The award is given to Canadian companies that have successfully
employed innovation and expertise to create an outstanding 
e-business. In addition, participants are judged on their market
leadership and their use of the Internet to provide significant
advantages to their customers. The awards ceremony was held in
Ottawa on May 2.

the first time, they are being honoured for what they have
contributed to the New Economy. BCE Emergis exemplifies the type
of company that the E-Canada awards program looks to recognize."
