Title: Winners of the European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2015 announced Post by: RealWire on March 26, 2015, 06:36:52 PM [London, 26 March 2015] IT Europa, the leading European IT publisher and market intelligence organisation, has announced the winners of the European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2015 - the pan-European awards event for ISVs, Solution Providers and Systems Integrators and their vendor and distributor partners. The finalists were honoured last night at a celebration dinner at the London Lancaster Hotel.
The 2015 European IT & Software Excellence Awards saw a return to confidence in the industry, with some of the highest scores ever recorded by the judges. Now in its seventh year, there were notable triumphs for companies from across Europe, with projects ranging from an open-source solution saving money in the UK's NHS to automatic fare collection in Minsk. Winners were chosen from 83 finalists who represented 32 countries. Cloud technology figured strongly, particularly when projects had to consider global operations such as a notable win for a recruitment specialist project. Many of the projects were able to save considerable amounts of time and money for clients, such as the winner who sorted out unstructured data at charity Save The Children. “There were some absolutely terrific solutions among the winners, and really, looking at the quality of the hundreds of entries we received, these were just the tip of an iceberg,” says John Garratt, chair of the judges panel. “The European IT industry should feel proud of what it is offering clients in a time of great change in terms of available technologies, range of solutions, and in how it is selecting from the vast array of solutions out there.” The full list of winners is below: Solution Provider section SME Solution of the Year - Enterprise Study Ltd Enterprise Solution of the Year - Green Fields Technology Datacentre Solution of the Year - TechMahindra Limited Vertical Solution of the Year - IBA Group Public Sector and Utilities Solution of the Year - BJSS Managed Services Solution of the Year - Interoute Connected/Mobility Solution of the Year - AirWatch by VMware Storage/Information Management Solution of the Year - BrightStarr Big Data, Business Intelligence and Analytics Solution of the Year - Northdoor plc Networking Solution of the Year - Bell Integrator Security Solution of the Year - SoftServe Inc ISV Categories ERP/CRM/Relationship Management Solution of the Year - LIFE IS HARD Information & Document Management Solution of the Year - DocLogix Big Data, Business Intelligence and Analytics Solution of the Year - Kazoup Connected/Mobility Solution of the Year - Arkessa Limited Vertical Market Solution of the Year - PureNet Government/Utilities Solution of the Year - UNIT4 SaaS Solution of the Year - Vecta Sales Solutions Ltd Software Innovation Solution of the Year- Sequel Business Solutions Supplier categories, recognising the support provided to channel partners.

In addition to the ISV and Solution Provider categories, there are seven supplier categories for which ISVs and Solution Providers have nominated distributors, hardware and software suppliers, communications, hosting or business services providers for the support they have provided through their partner programmes. |
