The Software Satisfaction Awards 2009 were presented at a ceremony on 8 October at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Mardak has announced that Mardak Construction Accounts secured 2nd place in both the categories which they were shortlisted in.
In the Mid Range Accounting Software category, Mardak beat strong competition from Access (previous winners of the award) and Hansaworld to take 2nd place. The category was very closely fought and Mardak Construction Accounts only narrowly missed out on the top spot! Mardak achieved an average quality score of 3.77 out of 4 - less than 1% lower than that of the winner.
It is worth noting that the Software Satisfaction Awards cover all industries. Mardak Construction Accounts is the only construction industry specific package to have made it to the finals as Iris Exchequer failed to be shortlisted.
Mardak had similar success in their other category, Paperless Office Software of the year. Competition came from Version One and Invu, but again Mardak Construction Accounts took 2nd place with an average quality score, exactly 1% behind that of the winner, Draycir Ltd.
The awards, which are organised by Sift Media are of great significance as they are voted for by the actual users of the software. Each category is judged on 4 areas; ease of use, functionality, reliability and value for money. This year over 8,100 individual software users cast their votes across the categories.
Mardak would like to say a massive thank you to every one of their clients that voted in the Awards. The whole team at Mardak are delighted to have received such great recognition for Mardak Construction Accounts and appreciate that this could not have been achieved without the loyalty and support demonstrated by their clients taking the time and effort to vote.
Having come so close to winning, Mardak is already looking forward to the 2010 Software Satisfaction Awards next year with the hope of going one step better and winning the awards.
