HansaWorld wins Best in Biz Awards 2012 EMEA

Johannesburg, 08 Jun 2012

HansaWorld has received multiple prizes in Best in Biz Awards 2012 EMEA, the only independent international business awards programme judged by members of the press and industry analysts. HansaWorld has been honoured in three categories, winning Silver for Enterprise Product of the Year (Enterprise by HansaWorld), Bronze for Small or Medium Business Product of the Year (Standard Products) and Bronze for Most Innovative Company of the Year.

An impressive array of public and private companies representing all sectors of the economy from over 20 countries entered to compete in Best in Biz Awards' inaugural EMEA programme. HansaWorld takes great pride in having received these awards in the face of such intense competition, especially in the category of Most Innovative Company of the Year.

“I have been running HansaWorld for 24 years in one of the oldest branches of the IT industry. To still be so innovative that we win a bronze medal in an open competition with companies from all industries makes me immensely proud. I am deeply thankful to my staff who really embrace change,” says Karl Bohlin, CEO of HansaWorld.

“We are thrilled to be recognised in all three categories that we entered, which clearly reflects the judges' agreement with our view that we are a leader in innovation for our industry,” adds Stephen Jay, International Sales Director for HansaWorld.

“We see our solutions for tablets as a critical part of the revolution in modern computing, which is seeing employees increasingly invited to work on devices they bring to work rather than on stationary computers, and our approach of offering a complete solution for iPad and Google Android tablets is different from our competitors. This is the prime reason for our success in the Enterprise Product category,” comments Jay, on winning the other nominations.

Johani Marais, country manager for HansaWorld South Africa, says brand recognition for HansaWorld continues to grow. “Our solutions are proven, mature and widely accepted by enterprises the world over. However, HansaWorld is a company founded on innovation, and to this day, that spirit runs strongly throughout the organisation. The focus remains on finding ever-better ways of helping our clients run their businesses more efficiently. These awards are an affirmation of the work being done to achieve these goals.”
