Business Collaborator named Business IT Service Provider of the Year

BC wins prestigious accolade at 2009's Construction Computing Awards, and named finalist in 3 further categories

Business Collaborator Ltd (BC), part of Unit 4 Agresso and a pioneer in collaboration software, was named 'Business IT Service Provider of the Year' at the Construction Computing Awards, held in the Tower Hotel in London on 19 November.

Now in their fourth year, 'The Hammers', as the Construction Computing Awards are affectionately known, showcase the best technology, tools and solutions for construction projects of all sizes, over the past year as voted for by professionals from the industry.

"Winning this award is testament to our passion and dedication to provide clients with first class systems and customer service" said Sanjeev Shah, managing director of BC, "I'd like to thank all of our clients and users that voted for us and our staff at BC for all their hard work and in particular their attention to customer service."

In all, BC was nominated as finalists in four categories, including 'Document & Content Management Software of the Year' for their core BC system, 'E-Commerce Product of Year' for 'BC Tendering', and 'Construction Computing "One to Watch" Product' also for 'BC Tendering'. "BC Tendering is an extremely powerful tool," said Shah, "and to see it recognised as such, despite it having only been launched less than a year ago, is extremely rewarding".

Commenting on what the award will now mean to BC, Shah said: "We always strive to achieve high standards with the quality of products and services we provide which leads to a very high level of customer satisfaction. This has always been at the top of our agenda and we will continue to work hard to surpass this year's achievement. In this challenging time, the construction industry is looking, more now than ever, for ways to save time and money, cut risks and increase efficiency on their projects. Developing services and products to achieve that, is what we do well and will continue to do".
