We were rewarded for our work on a successful project to create
an ecommerce platform for Devon County Council to manage car
parking regulations and generate new revenue streams. The system
reduced energy consumption, shrinking the council's carbon
footprint and motivating positive change in employee attitudes.
We were also announced as a medallist in the Community Project
of the Year category for its work developing a bespoke online
application to streamline processes for charity SSAFA (Soldiers,
Sailors, Airmen and Families Association).
Being recognised by the IT industry and winning this award
against such high calibre finalists is great testament to the hard
work and dedication of our team in delivering the highest
standards. We work hard to ensure our tailor-made solutions deliver
measurable and substantial benefits to our clients, and this was a
key area of the judging criteria for the award.
David Clarke, chief executive officer of BCS, The Chartered
Institute for IT, says, "This has been another exceptional year for
the Awards, with winners drawn from a wide range of industries,
once again highlighting that IT is truly embedded in our society
and brings tremendous benefits to all aspects of life from
industry, healthcare through to entertainment and security.
"As the Chartered Institute for IT, we offer our congratulations
to all those who took part and in particular, the medallists and
winners. To qualify as a finalist is terrific; to win is an
absolutely fantastic achievement in these highly contested
awards."
Robin Booth, publishing director of Computing comments, "On
behalf of Computing, I would like to congratulate the winners and
medallists on their achievements. The UK IT Industry Awards are
rigorously judged and as a result truly celebrate innovation and
best practice in IT today."
