The Mississippi Technology Alliance and the Edward Lowe Foundation named NVision Solutions, Inc. as a "Mississippi Company to Watch" award recipient for 2009.  MTA presented the award to NVision President and CEO Socorro A. Harvey, at the Second Annual Innovators Hall of Fame Awards Gala on June 2 at the downtown Marriott in Jackson, Miss.

NVision is a leader in Mississippi's geospatial industry specializing in a new generation of geospatial decision support solutions for energy, defense, agriculture, government, and economic development.

In addition to other second-stage Mississippi companies the ceremony also honored legendary Mississippi innovators in attendance including Jim Barksdale, former CEO of Netscape; Apollo 13 Astronaut Fred Haise; heart surgery pioneer Dr. James Hardy; and Fred Carl, founder of Viking Range Corporation.

"We are extremely pleased to be recognized as one of Mississippi's Companies to Watch," said Harvey,  "This award is acknowledgement of our innovative approaches and solutions to the challenges facing our customers, our community, and our country.  This awards ceremony was a humbling experience for us and is a testament to the spirit of innovation unique to Mississippi."

NVision incorporated in 2002 and is a small, minority, woman-owned, disadvantaged 8(a) firm.  NVision employs 56 people along the Gulf Coast between New Orleans, Louisiana and Biloxi, Mississippi serving customers nationwide.

The "Mississippi Companies to Watch" award program recognizes second-stage startup companies distinguishing themselves by their "innovative products" and "unique processes."  The competition was created by the Edward Lowe Foundation in Cassopolis, Michigan.  Companies are judged for their "special strengths" which revolve around a company's innovative products and business practices, special use of technology, work within their community and more.
