Congratulations to the winners of the Technology Product Awards
Here are the companies Computing's audience thought deserved to be recognised as the big names of UK IT
Every year, Computing opens voting for the Technology Product Awards, allowing our readers to choose the winners - and this year saw a stunning response. More than 9,500 votes were cast in the process, highlighting the big winners of IT in 2020.
With categories ranging from Best Cloud Security Product and and Best AI/Machine Learning Provider to the prestigious Product of the Year, the awards stretch to all corners of UK IT. Although products and services are the main focus of the event, there are also awards for individuals, companies and projects.
A standout entrant last year was Red Hat, which swept five different categories, including Best Cloud Computing Provider and Technology Innovator of the Year. SVP and general manager, EMEA, Werner Knoblich, said:
"The Awards give you an external temperature check in the market. If we keep winning in categories where we have strong competitors, like this year, it's an endorsement from your readers that we are on the right track."
Sumo Logic was another winner in 2019, taking the Best Enterprise Security Product - Intelligence and Analytics category. The company's Head of Pre-Sales Engineering EMEA, Clive McDonald, said:
"There are so many companies involved in IT today, all trying to help [customers] achieve the results they need. Earning recognition around the work you are doing with customers and the approach that you take, whether it's Sumo Logic or another company - that validation is invaluable to the industry. We all learn from each other, so anything that can speed up that process and improve best practices is always going to be helpful."
Congratulations to all of this year's winners. You can view them all now on the dedicated Awards microsite - and stay tuned to Computing for updates about next year's event.
