OnTheHub(TM) Web Site Recognized for Online Creati

OTTAWA, CANADA, Oct. 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The awards keep coming in for the recently updated and revamped OnTheHub ^™ web site created by Kivuto Solutions Inc ., the world's leading provider of hosted, flexible and scalable solutions for complex digital distribution requirements. The OnTheHub web site created for students, faculty and staff looking for the best academic pricing on software has received a prestigious silver award in the Website-Retail category from the Davey Awards , an international creative awards program.

Recognition by the Davey Awards follows closely on the heels of four W ³ Awards Kivuto received last month for the OnTheHub site. Both awards programs are presented and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), an invitation-only, member-based organization of top-tier professionals from a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms worldwide. The Davey Awards program is focused exclusively on honoring outstanding creative work in traditional and interactive media from small firms.

"This year's Davey Award winners truly represent the best small firms worldwide. The work entered into this year's competition embodies a smart, tactful approach to creativity and highlights the capabilities and forward thinking mindset that makes small organizations so unique," noted Linda Day, Executive Director of the IAVA. "On behalf of the entire International Academy of Visual Arts, we applaud Kivuto and all of this year's Davey Awards entrants and winners for their dedication and commitment to creativity. Congratulations for a job well done."

Davey Awards entries are judged for distinction in creative work based on the strength of the ideas, intelligence and out-of-the-box thinking that went into the submission. Awards are presented based on a standard of excellence for great work built on fresh ideas and exceptional execution, not the biggest budgets.

"These awards recognize the ability to deliver creative that meets marketing and sales objectives in a thoughtful and functional way," said Gustavo Sanchez, Sr. Marketing Manager at Kivuto. "We are pleased that our revamp of the OnTheHub web site has been recognized not only for its design and visual appeal, but also for the way it meets the online retailing needs of our customers, software publishers, and their customers worldwide."

OnTheHub is where students, faculty and staff worldwide can find academically discounted software by publishers like IBM®, JMP, Microsoft®, Minitab, National Instruments, Parallels® and more. Semester and yearly software rentals are also available for select titles. Through the OnTheHub brand, Kivuto has designed and built many school branded web stores in addition to the OnTheHub eStore to provide eligible academic users with incredible discounts on software they need for school.
