A big thank you to all of the end-users and purchasers of business software applications for taking part in the Software Satisfaction Awards 2008 survey.

The shortlist for the Award categories is provided below, based on a final voting population of 5,967 end users and purchasers of business software. Honourable mentions are given to those entrants who came extremely close to making the shortlist, or those who rated higher than the category average, but did not make the qualification level of 5% of the total category vote.

Finally, our congratulations to all of the software houses and resellers that have reached the Software Satisfaction Awards 2008 shortlist.
