DM AWARDS 2016
DM Awards 2016: Ten years young
The DM Awards enjoyed its
spectacular tenth anniversary in
November and the much-vaunted
change of venue to the sumptuous Grand
Connaught Rooms was a huge success,
with feedback after the event proving
overwhelmingly positive.
Our expectations for the night were
exceeded, in terms of both the numbers of
votes cast and guests attending on the
night. The room was full almost to
bursting as MC and cricket legend Chris
Cowdrey and comedian Stephen Grant
kept the attendees entertained throughout
the evening.
The full list of winners and runners-up is
reproduced on the following pages, but a
few worthy of special mention included:
ITESOFT's BPMN+, reviewed recently in
our pages, which took the Workflow/BPM
Product award, while our old friends at
EASY Software were thrilled to win the
Accounts Payable/Invoicing Product trophy.
The much-coveted Data
Capture/Recognition Award went to ibml
for their SoftTrac Capture Suite, reflecting
the company's shift toward a software
focus for its solutions (see our interview
with ibml's Ashley Keil on page 10 of this
issue to find out more). In the 'big prizes',
Company of the Year was awarded to
Fujitsu and Product of the Year to Hyland
for OnBase.
Overall we were delighted with the range
of entries from companies large and small,
some we know very well and some who
were frankly new names to us here (but
hopefully not any more) at Document
Manager. As usual the evening included a
silent auction on behalf of the Lord's
Taverners charity, which raised a significant
amount of money by selling collectable
items from the world of sport and
entertainment.
