Cloud computing services have risen to new heights since the cloud market gained popularity. There are many cloud computing awards that you can voluntarily enter for a chance to be recognised for the services your company provides. Here is a list of cloud computing award programs you should consider entering into.
The Cloud Awards
The Cloud Awards is another award program that aims to recognise deserving cloud service providers. To enter, you simply select a category your company falls into (There is 25 available categories to choose from) and fill out an application form. There is also an overall award for the Cloud Computing Service of the year, and this is an award that will do wonders for your company. The award winners will be rewarded with a winner’s logo and a mention in the awards press release.
Cloud Computing World Series Awards
One of most popular awards to be presented to cloud providers, Cloud Computing World Series Awards recognise both companies and individuals for providing outstanding services to its customers. Winning participants are rewarded with a trophy at the Cloud Computing World Series Awards network meeting and other promotional goodies, such as being featured in the winners press release and be able to use a winner of the cloud computing world series award logo on their website. In the 2011 award ceremony, Microsoft came out as victorious for the best cloud service award.
Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards
The BoSS award program is in place to recognise and reward leading companies in the software as a service category. To enter, you simply fill out an award application form and since there is no application fees it is well worth it to enter the program.
SaaS Directory
While this is not an award program, it features the top 20 most popular Software as a Service provider and is based on the number of votes your company receives. If you make it into the top 20 list, your company is featured on the most popular SaaS Company of the month page. This is a decent program to enter into if you have a large following of customers that you can convince to vote for your company in the award program.
All these award programs are worth entering into if you are after recognition for the work you have done. The publicity you receive if you are chosen as a winner in any of these programs alone should be enough of a reason to fill out an application form, but if you need more convincing then take a look at some of the other rewards you receive if you are chosen as a winner in any of the categories in the above mentioned award programs.
