County Hall in London last night played host to the sixth annual UK Cloud Awards, where accolades were awarded in a number of categories to showcase and reward the innovation and success of this country\u2019s cloud industry.<\/p>\n

The awards, which are put on by the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) and Cloud Pro, <\/i>were <\/i>supported by Platinum sponsors ScienceLogic and CDW, acknowledged and rewarded the best cloud providers, products and projects from the past year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cFrom the standard and sheer number of entries we received for the awards it\u2019s clear that it\u2019s an incredibly exciting time to be in the cloud industry,\u201d said Alex Hilton, CIF\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving served as a judge every year since we founded the awards, I can say that deciding the winners this year was the toughest one yet, and that making the shortlist is an achievement in itself. However, there can of course only be one winner in each category and a big congratulations is deserved for everyone that took home prizes on the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The expert panel of independent judges was led by head judge Jez Back and despite the overwhelming number of submissions, just 17 were lucky enough to take awards home on the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK Cloud Awards received yet another record number of entries this year, with a depth and quality which proves the health and strength of the UK cloud industry,\u201d Back said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judges and I were looking for examples of unrelenting focus on helping to transform the way organisations operate and delivering meaningful outcomes for their clients. I\u2019m pleased to say that our winners delivered on both counts and I\u2019d like to congratulate the finalists and ultimate winners on their achievements and successes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Franklin, group publisher of Channel Pro, Cloud Pro<\/i> and IT Pro<\/i>, added: \u201cThis year\u2019s UK Cloud Awards was our biggest and best event yet so a huge thanks is owed to our Platinum sponsors CDW and ScienceLogic, and our Award sponsors, Fujitsu, Navisite, TechData and Veritas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe established the UK Cloud Awards to champion excellence and highlight the cloud innovation and leadership taking place in the UK, but they wouldn\u2019t be possible without the backing of the industry. We fully expect to repeat the success of this year\u2019s awards in 2020, so watch this space!\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
