Best Use of Technology Award –
sponsored by Ultima Business Solutions
Throughout the Thames Valley area there are many companies and organisations that,
during the past year, will have introduced innovative technologies to make their businesses
more competitive, more efficient, more environmentally friendly or have simply overcome a
major technical challenge allowing a quantum leap in progress. If you feel that you have an
outstanding example of such innovation, then the Ultima Business Solutions Best Use of
Technology Award may be within your grasp! Our judges will look for radical new
approaches or ideas that show true innovators in the use of technology or solutions to
problems. Are you one of these organisations, if so, then share your story with us!
