About the CODiE(TM) Awards The CODiE(TM) Awards, originally called the Excellence in Software Awards, were established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), so that pioneers of the then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other’s work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program has carried out the same purpose — to showcase the software and information industry’s finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate achievement.
