2009 ITSPA Awards Archives

I’m pleased to tell the world that Timico has been shortlisted as a finalist in the ITSPA Awards again this year. Last year we won the Unified Comms category.

This year we don’t have that category but we are down to the last few in both the Best Business ITSP (SME) and Best Business ITSP (Enterprise) slots. The awards are being presented at the House of Commons on Thursday 10th December.

Last year it was actually a great evening. Parliament itself provides an exciting backdrop for the event which attracts a high number of attendees. Afterwards many of us adjourned to the nearest hostelry to celebrate. I had to carry the award around with me which made me paranoind about losing it. I felt a little like that FA Cup team way back when they went out to celebrate and took the cup with them and dented it in the process.

Our ITSPA trophy now rests in pride of place in our reception in Newark, hopefully to be joined by others – wish us luck.

The first Annual ITSPA Awards bash last year was a huge success, not least because Timico won the Best Unified Communications provider award! The event was held in the House of Lords Members Dining Room and had a fantastic turnout. We ended up in a few bars around Westminster and succeeded in not losing the trophy.

This year we are doing the same again and hopefully will have another great turnout. If you are reading this and are in the VoIP business you should think about entering. There are categories for both Service Providers and equipment/solution vendors, details of which can be found here. This year’s entrants are also going to be subject to expert testing by Epitiro.

The winners will be announced in the House of Commons Strangers Dining Room where the ITSPA Awards will take place on 10th December 2009. I look forward to seeing you there. Come and tap me on the shoulder to say hello.
