Entries are now open for the EuroCloud UK Awards 2012. This year we're adding a new end user award for Best Business Impact from cloud services. We still have four award categories for cloud providers: Best Offering, Best Startup, and two Best Case Study awards: Commercial Sector and Public Administration. Closing date for entries is June 6th and we'll announce the UK winners in July. The overall European winners will be revealed at EuroCloud Congress in October.
In last year's UK contest the winners were FinancialForce.com for best cloud offering and Really Simple Systems for best case study. For details of the overall European winners, see our news report.
