With just over three weeks to go to the entry deadline, the entries for the European IT & Software Excellence Awards have been coming in strongly, particularly in the innovation and software categories.
With the usual wide spread of projects and companies of all sizes from across Europe, it is clear that the -as-a-service model is building on the strong showing noticed last year. Also, perhaps as expected, security is showing high interest, both in channel and vendor categories.
“Our work on the state of European IT and predictions for 2019 show that the transformation idea is taking hold, but customers are looking for advice and support. This is clear from the projects entered so far, where the level of sophistication is increasing,” says John Garratt, Editor of IT Europa and chair of the judges. “We had the usual rush over the break, but there is still room for more. Remember the deadline is January 25th, and we are on hand to help with any advice.”
With expansion of the cloud solutions area into enterprise and SMB, and with hybrid categories appearing for the first time, the judges will be evaluating some very exciting new areas, he added.
Entering the European IT & Software Excellence Awards is completely free. All entries must be submitted to by the 25th of January 2019. And to make it even easier, there is now an entry tips guide for download which highlights what the judges are looking for available here https://www.iteawards.com/#categories.
The guide also identifies the way in which entering can be used to generate great publicity by using local and national media, plus contacting customers and potential customers through marketing.
This year the Awards are co-located with the first channel specific security conference Channel-Sec, held on March 14 in London’s Royal Garden Hotel.
