Excellence in Tech Awards categories – for software and service providers
For technology services and software providers, our awards a valuable recognition and endorsement by the industry, underpinned by 25 years of unbiased expertise and unrivalled reputation.
Please provide a comprehensive account of the product that essentially answers the questions of “what, why, how” and demonstrates tangible benefits to its users. This includes:
- What the solution is, explained in clear, layman’s terms
- Functionality
- Technology and relevant processes
- What makes it unique or standout
- What problems it solves on a business level and what improvements it delivers – supporting evidence, stats and facts are crucial
- Use cases and examples of how it has delivered tangible benefits
- The solution must be operational and have at least one live site.
A successful nomination will be to the point and with supporting evidence, not buzzwords. We do not want to see press releases, advertorials, or sales & marketing brochures.
