SCARBOROUGH, Maine - June 11, 2015 - PRLog -- nGage Events, Producers of the 2015 M6 Mobility xChange, announced Built.io, Kinvey and IBM as award winning vendors at the fourth annual M6 event at the La Costa Resort & Spa located in Carlsbad, Calif.

Forty-five leading mobility vendors competed for three award categories: Best Case Study Presentation, Best Emerging Technology Solution and Best Overall Mobile and Wireless Solution. Awards were voted on by more than 130 enterprise executive attendees representing the largest companies in North America.

IBM MobileFirst was awarded the 2015 Best Case Study Presentation award. This award was based on the overall presentation and interaction that occurred between the presenting sponsor and the senior level executives who took part in 25 minute case study presentations over the two and half days. The top four vendors nominated were CA Technologies, IBM, SAP and StarMobile.

Built.io was awarded the 2015 M6 Best Emerging Technology Solution award. This award went to the sponsor with a unique solution set that senior level executives identified as early to market, and/or fulfilled a specific need to better the industry. The top four nominated vendors were Bluebox, Built.io, Capriza and StarMobile. "The M6 Mobility xChange Summit was a huge success. Built.io was awarded 'Best Emerging Technology', reflecting our leadership at the intersection of mobile and IoT. Voted on exclusively by non-sponsoring attendees, this prestigious endorsement complements the in-depth 1:1 conversations we were able to have with mobile thought leaders across 6 featured industries," said Matthew Baier, COO, Built.io.

Kinvey was awarded the 2015 M6 Best Overall Mobile and Wireless Solution award. This award was given to the most comprehensive industry offering, and showcased an overall understanding of the enterprise needs in the mobile marketplace. The top four vote recipients were AirWatch by VMware, IBM, Kinvey and MOBIwm. "2015 marked our 3rd year of participating at M6 for Kinvey and proved to exceed our expectations again. We've attended other events and no other format is quite like this one. Winning the best overall mobile and wireless solution as voted on by the enterprise executive attendees is truly special and we are very grateful of the award. We are honored to accept this award and look forward to participating in M-Enterprise Boston in October," stated Sravish Sridhar, CEO, Kinvey.

Philip McKay, CEO, said, "I am very proud of my staff for all of their hard work and dedication in producing this world class event. These award categories have become extremely competitive over the years, which force our sponsors to engage with the hosted enterprise executives in a way not common in the event industry. IBM, Built.io and Kinvey all had a phenomenal event and there were thousands of qualified leads generated from this year's M6."
