The DMPTool was awarded the 2012 Larry L. Sautter Golden Award for Innovation in Information Technology at the UC Computing Services Conference 2012 (UCCSC) held at Berkeley on August 5. The Sautter Award honors projects developed by UC faculty and staff, and selected by a committee composed of members of the UC IT Leadership Council. The DMPTool was one of three projects selected this year for the Golden Award. We were awarded a plaque now proudly displayed at CDL.
