Ward Solutions is delighted to announce that it has been shortlisted for two of the top awards at the prestigious and hotly contested Irish Tech Excellence Awards 2016. Ward was shortlisted for Company of the Year and Managed Service Company of the Year, based on a number of milestones in 2015.
When it came to shortlisting applicants, an expert panel of judges looked at various factors, including revenue and employee growth, the launch of new services, and significant investments. Ward’s investment of €1.2M in its new Security Operations Centre (SOC), continued revenue and employee growth, as well as other initiatives, such as the provider’s focus on employee training, impressed the judges and ultimately led to the company being shortlisted for Company of the Year.
The new SOC facilitated significant expansion to Ward Solutions’ range of managed services, including the launch of the company’s new managed security information and event management (SIEM) service. Ward’s efficiency and dedicated provision of information security services has continued to attract new customers, and has also enabled the company to maintain a customer retention rate of over 98%.
This expansion of service offerings, coupled with Ward’s array of accreditations, such as ISO 27001 certification, impressed judges enough to convince them to also shortlist Ward for Managed Service Company of the Year.
Now in their 16th year, the Tech Excellence Awards celebrate the very best in the industry of information technology, acknowledging excellence in implementing tech solutions, the business of marketing and implementing technology for business. The Awards Presentation Night is a black-tie event, which will take place on 12th May in the glamourous surrounds of the Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin 4.
