- Swindon-based Centennial wins BDO Stoy Hayward Tech. Co. 2006 Award -
UK, November 24 2006: Centennial Software has received the BDO Stoy Hayward Tech. Co. 2006 Award from Thames Valley Business Magazine. Against stiff competition from technology companies across the UK's equivalent of Silicon Valley, judges cited Centennial's innovation, vision, sustainability and strong management team as key factors in the IT governance software vendor's success.
The ceremony on November 23 saw Centennial CEO Andy Burton collect the award from shadow chancellor George Osbourne.
"We were measured on profitable growth, level of exports, products and market penetration. Given that the Thames Valley is recognized as a hotbed of technological expertise this award is a fantastic endorsement of our technology and vision," said Andy Burton, CEO at Centennial Software. "As organizations take IT governance in all its forms more seriously, our solutions are ideally-placed to help them drive down costs and improve compliance with both internal policies and external regulations."
Established in 1997, Centennial Software has grown consistently year on year, expanding from its base in the UK to establish operations in the USA, central Europe, Asia Pacific and the Nordics. A network of accredited VAR and OEM partners means that Centennial solutions are available in 42 countries worldwide.
Burton concluded: "The increasing industry recognition through awards such as these is a further acknowledgement of Centennial's continued commitment to innovation in delivering effective solutions that efficiently resolve real problems facing businesses of all sizes."
