July 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Philadelphia, PA--July 24, 2015-- BeNative today announced that they have been named as a 2015 Stratus Awards winner. The Stratus Awards, launched by the Business Intelligence Group is the first crowd-sourced industry awards program to recognize authentic talent and superior performances in the business world. Winners of this award are recognized for their innovative approaches that are helping to accelerate the development and adoption of the cloud in consumer and business markets.

“The underlying theme in this year’s Stratus Award program was ‘operational excellence’,” said Russ Fordyce, Managing Director for the Business Intelligence Group. “Each and every winner showed our judges how their innovations and execution strategies led to superior customer experiences and greater adoption of cloud-based services.”

This marks the third major international award for BeNative, a Seoul based edtech startup, within the past year. "We are so proud that our judges awarded BeNative with a 2015 Stratus Award," Fordyce said. "It is clear that their performance and innovation has accelerated the adoption of the cloud. Congratulations to the entire team."

BeNative, an award-winning service of SMATOOS Inc., provides a global business English learning platform to corporations and customers throughout East Asia, specifically including China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. BeNative's business English courses are based on the video interviews and presentations of more than 100 American business leaders, including top executives from 3M, Harvard Business School, and General Motors. These executives introduce their business models and share business strategies in English, where the content is then used by language analysts to create lessons and exercises.

BeNative joins the ranks of other winners such as Red Hat, Jive Software, and Hubwoo. CEO Alan Moonsoo Kim said "I'm pleased that BeNative is being honored among other top global tech companies for this award. This recognition will serve as motivation to move forward and keep an eye on the global tech scene." The award comes on the heels of the debut of BeNative's new content lab in Silicon Valley, where the company recently held its first pitch competition. BeNative plans to develop new content and proceed with a variety of projects in the edtech innovation field with the help of local industry experts in education and IT in Silicon Valley. With the recognition and support of programs such as the Stratus Awards, BeNative also plans to continue to expand its global reach, with new services and branches underway.
