European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2018 winners announced

Winners gather to celebrate - well done everyone

The winners in the European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2018 (www.iteawards.com) - the leading pan-European awards for resellers, ISVs, Solution Providers and Systems Integrators and their vendor and distributor partners – have been revealed at a gala dinner in London with over two hundred and fifty attendees from finalist companies on 19 April.

Now in their tenth year, the European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2018 attracted several hundred entries from all over Europe, with 29 countries represented amongst the finalists. The awards were given for IT solutions that get to the heart of customer issues, delivering better business, a clearer understanding of data, and more efficient and profitable outcomes.

"We thought that this year was a year of innovation in the awards, when the entries showed some real strategic positioning of IT as a game-changer and a problem-solver for customers,” says John Garratt, Editor of IT Europa and head of the judges’ panel. “The projects showed a wealth of ideas which can make a fundamental difference to users, customers, and indeed, whole industries. The industry is continuing to change in response to customer’s need. I can highlight the strong SaaS and managed services’ entries, reflected in the winners list in a number of categories”
