Detectent Named as Finalist for 2008 Platts Global Energy Rising Star Award

ESCONDIDO, Calif.-(Business Wire)-October 3, 2008 - Detectent, Inc. is pleased to announce their selection as finalist for the Platts Rising Star Award. Platts revealed their Global Energy Awards finalists in late September. Detectent is one of 11 companies in the running for the Rising Star honor. Established in 1999 to recognize innovation, leadership and superior performance in multiple categories ranging from Marketing Campaigns to Sustainable Energy Initiatives, 2008 marks the 10th anniversary for Platts Global Energy Awards. The awards are widely regarded as the top prizes in the energy sector.

"Detectent is honored to be selected as a finalist from a pool of hundreds of nominations from all over the world," said Michael Madrazo, President of Detectent, Inc. Mr. Madrazo plans to join more than 500 senior energy executives at the Platts Global Energy Awards gala ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on December 3.

Located in Escondido, California, Detectent pioneered the use of advanced analytical tools for delivering customer intelligence to the utility industry. Their initial theft detection solution was a radical departure from the old methods of tip programs and a dramatic improvement upon other outdated techniques. Already established as the top solution in the industry when it comes to energy theft detection, Detectent is emerging as the leader in delivering advanced customer intelligence solutions to their clients in the areas of Accurate Billing, Energy Efficiency, and Risk Optimization as well.

“With the unveiling of our new suite of Customer Intelligence Solutions, we believe our company is a great candidate for the Rising Star Award this year,” added Wayne Willis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Detectent. “These offerings represent an exciting new phase in our company’s evolution.”

The Platts Rising Star Award recognizes the achievements of either a genuine startup business or an existing business that has moved into a brand new field. Platts expects that their finalists display guts, flawless execution, brilliant marketing, and a tremendous organizational ability. Their judges look for businesses that have used these skills to establish themselves as more successful than existing players in any energy industry field or discipline. Detectent was required to showcase its strategic vision, proven growth, operational excellence, innovation, peer recognition and the scope of their projects. Winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony itself.
