In a spirited atmosphere made up of equal parts excitement to be back in person and anticipation of walking away with an Award, the European IT & Software Excellence Awards, held at the Royal Lancaster in West London last night, celebrated those dedicated to advancing the industry through innovation and dedication.
Now in its 12th year, these Awards are the benchmark of industry excellence. From categories detailing remote working solutions and solution providers, to application developer & ISVs and suppliers, it was an event to remember. It was also a reminder for all those in attendance the important work done, and how to use being shortlisted or declared a winner as a springboard for greater progress.
