IT Awards Packages 2024

About Us Introduction SME News is excited to announce that the IT Awards are returning for a third consecutive year in 2024! Each year we delve into the latest trends and developments in the UK’s budding Information Technology sector, to provide our readers with a guide to the top businesses and service providers leading the industry today. The IT Services market has been going from strength to strength in recent years, now employing close to two million people across the UK and generating over £150 billion each year for the country’s economy. With an additional two million open job vacancies registered in 2023, the long-term growth prospects for every facet of the IT industry are exceptional. In fact, the latest data from trade association techUK shows that the UK’s Technology sector is growing 2.5 times faster than the rest of the economy. While this creates an exciting environment for the IT industry, the accelerating rate of expansion and innovation in this sector also poses a set of unique challenges. The rapid speed of development in technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and big data analytics have had major implications on data privacy and cybersecurity. In order for the UK to remain a key player at the forefront of these technologies, the increasing digital skills gap needs to be addressed. Businesses should be looking to invest in internal training and upskilling in order to reduce this talent shortage. Luckily, the UK government is taking an active role supporting the country’s Information Technology sector, establishing the Digital Skills Council to ensure that digital skills keep up with the demands of businesses. IT is an integral component to the operations of almost every industry today. Technical sectors such as Engineering and Architecture rely on computer software to create designs, while data-centric sectors like Healthcare utilise IT systems to process and record information. As digital transformation becomes increasingly important the demand for IT services continues to grow, in order for businesses to manage and optimise their technology infrastructure. Oftentimes having a reliable IT infrastructure and access to specialist outsourced services are the difference in making a business successful. SME News are looking to recognise and reward those IT companies who are helping businesses perform to a higher standard – streamlining operations, increasing efficiency, and improving security. The IT Awards 2024 will encompass every segment of the UK’s diverse Information Technology industry, covering everything from hardware to software development, from internet to webbased technologies, from consulting to support services, and from databases to information management. www.sme-news.co.uk
