Local network integration and infrastructure management specialist Integr8 IT has become the only company on the continent to be a finalist in three categories at the African ICT Achievers Awards 2004.
The company has been nominated and is now short-listed as a finalist in the Top ICT Workplace Provider, Most Innovative ICT Company and Top Private Sector CIO categories.
The Top ICT Workplace Provider award recognises a company that, through its employee-centric nature, has created a loyal employee base and demonstrates the prestige nature of being a part of the company, while the Most Innovative ICT Company award serves to identify a company that has developed a truly African ICT-driven solution or innovation.
Robert Sussman, joint Managing Director of Integr8 IT, has also clinched the finalist position for Top Private Sector CIO. This award honours candidates that have implemented creative solutions to enhance service delivery within their company, encouraging the efficient usage of technology tools within the company, contribution to policies and regulations that influence the ICT sectors, building capacity within their company and for outstanding managerial and/or technical skills.
"We are delighted to have received this recognition. It is an honour to be nominated, no less as finalists for three categories. Our vision is to continue to be leaders in our field and the African Achiever Awards represents a huge boost forward," comments Sussman. "Integr8 IT has been fast on its feet. In order to maintain our position, we continue to abandon the past to peruse the future, staying hungry. We will never attempt to sell someone technology if it is not going to ease a process, streamline a procedure or do something that results in a more efficient activity."
Winners of the 14 categories will be announced at a gala dinner on 6 November.
