Cloud Excellence Awards: Entries close TODAY

There are five new categories at the Cloud Excellence Awards 2021, reflecting how cloud use has evolved in the last year

Are you a cloud leader? You only have days left to let us, and your peers, know, as entries to the Cloud Excellence Awards close on Friday.

Used properly, organisations can use the cloud to respond quickly to changing market conditions, and to experiment with new ideas, products and tools. It's been an invaluable tool over the past 15 months, and there are hundreds of success stories to share.

One of last year's winners, Jay Litkey of Snow Software, said being able to celebrate achievements is critical in such an uncertain time:

"These awards provide the opportunity to champion individuals and businesses that have excelled in their industries and celebrate their achievements - particularly within this tricky climate. It brings industries together and showcases the extraordinary developments taking place. This has been a true highlight for Snow. As well as celebrating our own success, we've been able to witness some astonishing achievements made by other companies during this time."

Markus McIver - CEO at Virtuoso, crowned MSP of the Year in 2020 - said events like the Cloud Excellence Awards are "vital for us...to benchmark ourselves against our competitors."

Cloud use is changing. Customers are increasingly less likely to limit themselves to a single vendor, and best-of-breed is everything for the modern IT leader. But cloud is also still very much about its traditional strengths of speed, agility and scalability.

Whatever your particular area, there is sure to be a category for you. Not only are we bringing back popular long-running awards like Cloud Professional of the Year, Most Innovative Cloud Product or Service and Cloud Vendor of the Year, but there are five brand new awards for 2021, each one reflecting the changing face of the tech industry:

But remember, there are only a few days left to get your entry in and be in with a chance at winning on the 23rd September.
