The great and the good of the UK business software industry will gather at the Software Satisfaction Awards‘ traditional venue of Harrods this week to hear who this year’s winners are.
Organised by HRZone‘s publisher Sift Media in association with Intellect, the SSAs comprise the UK’s biggest survey of opinion among business software users – this year, 10,691 people voted.
The winners, who will be selected from a shortlist based entirely on their votes, will be revealed at the world famous department store on Thursday 11 October, where attendees will be entertained by after-dinner speaker and comedian, Gyles Brandreth.
In the corporate HR and human capital management software category, the battle is between Advanced Business Solutions‘ HCM applications, Employment Law Advisory Services‘ Employersafe, ExpenSys, Sage HR‘s SnowdropKCS HR, TeamSeer and WhosOff.com.
Contenders for a gong in the small-to-medium enterprise space, however, are Employment Law Advisory Services’ Employersafe, TeamSeer and WhosOff.com.
The full shortlist is here.
Last year’s awards host was Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s former spin doctor. He said: "This was the first awards I’d been part of where the judges were customers, delivering their judgement on actual services provided. And it was possible to hear, from the hollering in the room, just how much victory meant to the chosen few."
Another previous speaker was legendary actor and explorer, Brian Blessed. In 2010, he delivered a speech which will live long in the memory of all those who were there. You can watch a video of his speech here.
