The 2009 Software Satisfaction Awards WINNERS

A big thank you to all of the end-users and purchasers of business software applications for taking part in the Software Satisfaction Awards 2009 survey. And it's the biggest yet, with over 8,100 votes cast - making the survey one of the largest individual pieces of business opinion research in the UK.

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 2009 shortlist - and of course to the worthy category winners.
