The winners in the European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2017 have been revealed at a gala dinner in London on 30th March.
"Not only did we have a record number of entries and votes from the industry, but the quality was even higher than previous years and confirms our view that Europe has entered a new era of IT confidence," said John Garratt, Editor of IT Europa and head of the judges panel.
"It is up to us as an industry to take these ideas out to the market, to show the general media, politicians and governments that the industry is not all about security threats and scare stories, but regularly delivers great productivity gains to ordinary businesses and people. The evidence is in the projects that we have highlighted with our selection of finalists and winners."
Now in their ninth year, the European IT & Software Excellence Awards 2017 attracted more than 500 entries.
