Based on genuine end-user research
The main awards are, as in previous years, based on primary research amongst genuine buyers and end-users of business software applications. Participants in the survey are asked to rate their business software products on four key attributes: ease of use; functionality; reliability; and value for money.

This year also sees the addition of three special awards, judged by a panel of recognised and respected industry commentators.
