IRIS win ICT Services Supplier Award

Award winning software underlines innovation from IRIS

IRIS NFP Solutions, the not-for-profit sector specialist software and services provider, today announced that it has won another award to add to the growing list of accolades received for its innovative, sector focused software. The company was named as ‘ICT Services Supplier of the Year 2009' at the Charity Times Annual Awards Dinner on Wednesday 9th September. This follows hot on the heels of it being shortlisted jointly with Guide Dogs for a Project Excellence award by the British Computing Society/Computing Awards.

Simon Fowler, MD of IRIS NFP, said; "I'm very pleased that IRIS is able to deliver innovative products and successful projects, and that our successes are widely recognised by industry experts and users alike. We don't view awards as a vanity. They are a way of benchmarking ourselves against our direct competition and other IT businesses. We always aim to deliver value to our customers, and the award from Charity Times demonstrates the value we are able to deliver in the Not-For-Profit sector."

The Charity Times awards are the pre-eminent celebration of best practice in the UK charity and not-for-profit sector and celebrated their 10th year in 2009. The presentation was held at the Kings Nine Suite at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, on September 9.

Andrew Holt, editor of Charity Times, said; "IRIS won its award for the work on accessibility carried out during the implementation of its software for Guide Dogs, its market-focused approach to product management and its overall commitment to serve the entire not-for-profit sector."
