Cloud quality: Announcing the winners of the 2023 Cloud Excellence Awards

The Cloud Excellence Awards for 2023 have once again shone a spotlight on the very height of the UK's cloud industry.

This prestigious event acknowledges outstanding achievements, from ground-breaking products and vendors to the most compelling end-user case studies.

The cloud has become a catalyst for agility and innovation, empowering organisations to swiftly adapt to evolving market landscapes and explore novel ideas and tools. It offers a remarkably efficient avenue for establishing new infrastructure and platforms, or offloading the management burdens of certain IT components.

The Cloud Excellence Awards encompass a wide array of categories, encompassing both vendor and customer perspectives, ensuring recognition for every corner of the cloud ecosystem.

The winners were announced at a lively awards ceremony in central London last night, where we honoured these pioneers shaping the future of cloud technology.
