Mirra, Inc., developer of digital content protection and management solutions for consumers and SOHO professionals, today announced that it is the recipient of one of the First Annual Tax & Accounting Technology Innovation Awards from The CPA Technology Advisor for its Mirra Personal Server. Only five products out of dozens of nominees were honored with an award.

"We are delighted to be recognized and honored by The CPA Technology Advisor, one of the most respected technology magazines available to CPAs and tax professionals," said Richard Mandeberg, Mirra's CEO. "Finance professionals need an easy-to-set up, easy-to-use solution that protects their clients' content, and is ready to share and accessible from anywhere."

Mirra's anchor product, the Mirra Personal Server, is an integrated digital content protection and management solution that provides hands-free, continuous backup, secure remote access and sharing from any Internet-connected PC.

"Accountants' practices depend on quick access to data covering multiple periods for hundreds of clients, so a reliable back-up solution is particularly important for the protection of clients as well as for the viability of a finance professional's business," said Greg LaFollette, executive editor of The CPA Technology Advisor. "We are recognizing the Mirra Personal Server for such innovations as automatic backup of multiple PCs; the ability to communicate with clients and share confidential files securely; and the overall protection and confidence the product instills in users."

The CPA Technology Advisor Tax & Accounting Technology Innovation Awards recognize products and services that demonstrate a significant improvement to existing offerings and provide a view of where their respective fields are heading in the future. The CPA Technology Advisor believes recognition of these innovators will help continue to drive the development of technologies for the accounting and tax profession, thereby improving the efficiency and productivity of these professionals and, ultimately, their profitability.
