Shortlist announced for Cloud Excellence Awards 2020

The Cloud Excellence Awards are always one of Computing's most anticipated events. With the wide adoption of and reliance on cloud computing, the number of entries grows every year, and making it the shortlist - which we are announcing today - is, more than ever, a sign of incredible performance and success.

Cloud has been rising in popularity for more than a decade, and it is a powerful tool to respond to fast-changing market conditions. That was demonstrated admirably this year, when companies with an existing cloud base were able to pivot quickly to doing business online - and competitors were left flat-footed. As a result, there has been massive growth in the cloud market over the last six months, and the entries this year reflect a new level of customer confidence in cloud technology.

With categories covering every aspect of the cloud from both vendor and customer angles, the Cloud Excellence Awards have something for every organisation. So join us at a virtual events ceremony on the 5th November to celebrate success, and see who the big winners are in cloud in 2020.
