We are pleased to announce that MSM Software has been named as a finalist for the Green IT Awards 2012. We were shortlisted in the 'Environmental IT Project of the Year in the Public Sector' category 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. You can click here to find out more about the project.

Now in their third year the Green IT Awards look to showcase and reward the technology, tools and solutions as well as the companies and organisations that have made a significant contribution to improving the IT industry's environmental performance.

The judges were looking at the overall quality of submission; degree of originality and innovation in 'green' solutions, products and policies; evidence of the positive, sustainable impact of green on the business, its supplier and its customers, in terms of environmental, social and economic benefits; and examples of the green messages that are disseminated through the organisation's marketing and communications campaigns, when making their decision.

The winner will be chosen by a Judging Panel and announced at a ceremony at London Zoo on 19 April 2012.
