There’s something nicely closed-loop about a wealth management product that does well in the applications marketplace. Congratulations, therefore, to Dow Jones & Company for this week’s win as Best New Product or Service in the Media category at the 2007 American Business Awards in New York.

The award recognized the innovation in Dow
Jones Wealth Manager, a tool for mapping financial news to the interests of particular clients — and a proof point for AppExchange, where the product launched at the end of May.

That product will be demonstrated at the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association’s (SIFMA) 27th annual Technology
Management Conference & Exhibit, June 19-21, at the New York Hilton. I’ll be there to take part in a workshop on the growing role of SaaS in financial services markets, and welcome any chances to meet with readers of this blog at that event.
