SAN DIEGO, CA --(Marketwired - March 09, 2016) - Aquatic Informatics Inc., a global leader in providing innovative software solutions for water data management and analysis, this evening will be presented the 2015 EBJ Business Achievement Award for Information Technology in San Diego, California at the Environmental Industry Summit XIV, an annual three-day event hosted by Environmental Business Journal and Climate Change Business Journal.

"Each year Environmental Business Journal recognizes outstanding business performance in the environmental industry with our EBJ Business Achievement Awards," explained Grant Ferrier, President and CEO of Environmental Business International Inc. "This year Aquatic Informatics was selected for its outstanding sales growth of over 220% for AQUARIUS WebPortal, a solution that delivers real-time online access to environmental data and services, as well as for its recent launch of AQUARIUS Cloud and AQUARIUS Samples. With its new integrated SaaS offering for managing and analyzing water quality and quantity data, we believe Aquatic Informatics is well positioned to be at the forefront of current trends in water data collection, management, and use."

"The EBJ Business Achievement Awards are the most prestigious in the environmental sector. We're grateful to be recognized for the third consecutive year for our unwavering dedication to innovation to create greater water insight," shared Ed Quilty, President and CEO at Aquatic Informatics. "Our market is changing rapidly. Agility is key to both our success and the success of our customers."

"Today, less than two percent of the world's water is fit for human consumption. Growing demand and climate change are rapidly outpacing dwindling water supply. Current water practices are unsustainable. Big water data, environmental intelligence, and innovation will be key to a secure water future," advised Ed Quilty. "Aquatic Informatics is delivering more cost efficient, higher performing, and more secure cloud solutions that allow for much greater environmental data aggregation and dissemination, making the world's water data much more accessible for faster analysis and better decisions."
