ENID CEO JACK BALDWIN ACHIEVES FINALIST RANKING FOR ERNST & YOUNG'S ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR® AWARD
Oklahoma CEO Jack Baldwin recently earned a coveted finalist ranking in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award program. Baldwin, along with other finalists and award recipients from the Southwest region, was recognized during a June awards ceremony in Dallas.
(PRWEB) August 14, 2003 -- The Entreprenueur of the Year award was created by Ernst & Young to recognize outstanding individuals on a regional, national and ultimately global level. All the winners are selected by a panel of independent judges comprised of local community and business leaders.
Baldwin has a long and successful history of developing technology products and services for the voice and data call center-management industries. He launched VoiceLogger from its parent company CadCom in January 2001 after realizing an increasing demand for voice documentation and recording. VoiceLogger's premier product, digivoiceXE, is a secure browser-based application which integrates with a customer's network to record and store radio and telephone communications.
"I feel honored to be recognized in this prestigious awards program," Baldwin said. "As an Oklahoma-based entrepreneur, I'm passionate about growing business in our state and advancing voice recording and monitoring technology both nationally and internationally. Our talented, enthusiastic people have made us the success we are today."
Baldwin began his entrepreneurial career in 1981 by purchasing a telephone answering service business in Enid, OK. In 1995, Baldwin purchased CadCom, a supplier of specialized call management and answering systems, moved CadCom to Enid and gave his company, Communications Services, the new name of CadCom Telesystems, Inc. VoiceLogger is one of four corporations that were conceived, incubated and spun-off into separate organizations from CadCom in recent years.
"Entrepreneur Of The Year award winners embrace the entrepreneurial spirit and determination needed to achieve success," said Chris L. Bruner, America's Director of Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year. "Ernst & Young is proud to recognize and support these leaders and their companies."
In addition to being recognized by Ernst & Young, Baldwin has received other awards for his entrepreneurial spirit and success. In March 2001 and 2002, "The Journal Record" newspaper recognized Baldwin as one of Oklahoma's Innovators of the Year. VoiceLogger was inducted into the Oklahoma Technology and Commercialization Center's Million Dollar Hall of Fame in April 2001.
In 2002, Baldwin was appointed to Governor Frank Keating's Science and Technology Council. In February 2003, VoiceLogger was named one of the nine fast track technology companies to present its story and product to the Southwest Oklahoma Capital Conference held in Tulsa.
Targeting call and contact centers in all industries, VoiceLogger's digivoiceXE improves customer relationship management, verifies mission-critical transactions and reduces professional and corporate liability risks. Customers include Gemeral Motors, AOL Time Warner, Matria Healthcare, many universities, major government and state entities, as well as numerous sites within every branch of the U.S. Military.
Winners in several national categories, as well as the overall National Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year, will be announced at the awards gala on November 22nd at the J.W. Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, CA.
