Early entries to the Managed Services & Hosting Awards 2019 show a new drive for innovation, report the organisers. With a week to go to the deadline, a quick review of entries so far shows some new thinking on customer service and delivering a wider range of services.
In the fast-moving business of managed services, it may difficult to keep a clear view of those doing the interesting projects. Awards are a way of recognising those who are pushing ahead with concepts, ideas and deliverables. The awards consists of broad categories, allowing both Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Vendors to receive recognition for their work in the managed services sector.
The 2019 Managed Services & Hosting Awards build on the success of the inaugural 2018 edition and now feature 16 categories. The Managed Services Provider (MSP) Project awards are open to end-user implementations of MSP technology and/or service offerings, completed after January 2018 and no later than April 2019. Any MSP organisation may enter the ‘Most Innovative MSP’ category. The Vendor Supplier Solution awards are open to managed service solutions that have been available in Europe after January 2018 and no later than April 2019. The Managed Services & Hosting Excellence Award is a special award for the vendor/distributor/platform/technology provider/Services company or MSP considered to have contributed most to the sector over 2019
Any MSP or vendor may submit an entry into as many relevant categories as they wish, completing an entry form for each submission.
The entries will be assessed by a judging committee comprising a range of independent industry experts, including editors from both IT Europa and Angel Business Communications, alongside highly respected analysts, consultants and industry association representatives – all with a major focus on the managed services sector.
This committee will draw up a shortlist of finalists and shortlist nominees will receive a Finalist logo to use as they wish in the run up to the Awards presentation in September.
The 2019 MSH Awards presentation will take place after a dinner attended by over 200 guests from the industry. The meal and presentation will take place at etc venues, 155 Bishopsgate, London after the Managed Services & Hosting Summit 2019.
