Computing Awards for Excellence: Business Software Supplier of the Year shortlist

Citrix Online

Citrix Online launched the latest version of GoToAssist in May. The software is delivering more than 12 million remote sessions a year to more than 6,500 customers, and has been invaluable to high-profile companies such as BT.

Kaspersky Lab

Kaspersky Lab focuses on providing protection from threats, while keeping up with the mobile world. Kaspersky Open Space Security is a comprehensive all-in-one system which includes remote users.

NetSuite

Online software provider NetSuite has been delivering 99.9 per cent system uptime since 2005, having promised customers 99.5 per cent uptime or their money back. NetSuite software allows customers to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.

Red Hat

After acquiring JBoss in 2006, Red Hat offers a full range of open source software, cutting costs for customers and simplifying integrated management and support. Red Hat has developed a range of tailored packages to enable customers to adapt to JBoss database technology.

StepStone

Online recruitment software provider StepStone acquired ExecuTrack last year, and offers a complete talent management system. Virgin Atlantic said its approach to recruitment has been transformed by StepStone’s iGrasp software.

Texthelp

Texthelp aims to generate better digital understanding. Its Browsealoud software provides web access for people with literacy difficulties or mild visual impairments and those for whom English is a second language.

Tideway

Foundation, Tideway’s flagship product, reduces maintenance and licensing costs by eliminating inefficient and unused servers and software. Tideway has an impressive portfolio of clients such as BT, ING and Linklaters, and has been recognised by analysts as an industry leader.

Websense

Websense launched ThreatSeeker in October 2006 and this year received two US patents on components of the technology. ThreatSeeker scans 600 million web sites every week, seeking out threats before they become the customer’s problem.
