SunGard was particularly pleased to find that each of its submissions made the shortlist this year. “Having all nine of our award submissions make the relevant category shortlist is a very pleasing achievement and testament to the hard work and expertise of our staff," Keith Tilley, managing director UK and executive vice president of SunGard Availability Services told Continuity Central. "Over the past year we have continued to improve our services and invested heavily in our infrastructure with several new data centres. Increasingly our customers are recognising that by outsourcing key data centre operations to us to manage, rather than investing in building their own data centres, they can not only increase their resilience and reduce costs, but also leave themselves free to focus on their core business."
ICM is keeping its corporate fingers crossed for an awards hat trick. It is hoping to become the first company to win the Service Provider of The Year Award three times in a row. ICM’s MD, Mike Osborne commented, “In a difficult economic climate it would be easy to let standards slip and enthusiasm wane. It is a great credit to all our staff that we have not allowed this to be the case and in fact, we are improving year on year. Given that we have won Supplier of the Year for the last two years, this is quite some achievement and one we are immensely proud of.”
