Entrants to all categories had to complete a written self-assessment, which were independently reviewed by the ITSPA Awards judges. Separately, the ITSPA Hero Award, which is designed to recognise an individual or organisation which has made a special contribution to the industry, was selected by the ITSPA Council

Eli Katz, the Chair of ITSPA, said “I would like to congratulate all the winners and those companies which were highly commended at the 2018 ITSPA Awards. Fittingly, for our tenth awards anniversary, this year’s field of finalists was particularly competitive and demonstrated the strength and growth of the sector. This special event provided not just a great way to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Awards, but also a way of recognising the achievements of ITSPA and our members over the past twelve months. 2018 has seen the work of our two task forces on business switching and cyber crime develop substantially and make good progress in their lobbying activities. We are keen for companies across the industry to continue to join ITSPA and get involved in this important work.”

Magrathea’s Technical Director, Linus Surguy, said “It has been fantastic to see entrants from across the next generation communication sector recognised again at this year’s Awards. Magrathea is delighted to continue to support ITSPA and celebrate the tenth anniversary of this important event. Congratulations to all the winners!”

The 2018 ITSPA Awards were open to all those in the VoIP and unified communications space, including those who are not members of ITSPA.
