Past Awards

In 2006, the Awards were issued to vendors of accounting and tax software applications - in 2007 the Awards covered 19 categories across the business disciplines of: accounting & finance; human resources; training; CRM; and customer management.

We're proud to say that the Awards are based on the views of genuine buyers and end-users of business software applications - not those of a judging panel. This means that the Awards act as a valuable guide to any business taking the decision to purchase new software applications.
