21/09/08 > Sensdata Nominated as IT Industry Award Finalist

Software Development specialist Sensdata Ltd has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious IT Industry Awards hosted by the British Computer Society.

The South Yorkshire company, headed by Dr Robert Brown, has been nominated for Project Excellence in the Research and Development category, for their innovative Intelligent V Belt Maintenance Evaluation System.

The BCS IT Industry Awards, supported by Intellect and NCC, are the leading hallmark of success amongst practitioners today. The cross industry awards form a central element to the BCS’ professionalism in IT initiative and recognise, promote and acclaim excellence, professionalism, innovation and the outstanding achievements to which individuals and groups contribute.

David Clarke, BCS chief executive says: “In the current economic situation it is rewarding to see that IT is continuing to lead through innovation and deliver real business benefits. These projects reflect the fact that technology is an integral and expected part of everyday life and is at the heart of literally every business – even farming.”

John Higgins, director general at Intellect says: “Intellect is delighted to be involved with the BCS IT Industry awards again. Information communication technology improves organisations’ competitiveness and productivity, and helps them meet the needs of their customers more effectively. These awards recognise those technology suppliers, individuals and organisations which do this best. The quality of entries is once again very high and I do not envy the judges their task of identifying the winners – it’s going to be a difficult job.”

Part-funded by Yorkshire Forward as a ‘Micro Project’, Sensdata’s project work has focused on the development of a robust and economical solution to monitoring the age old problem of unwanted transmission belt ‘slip’ with the benefit of saving considerable amounts of energy.

The competition will be decided at The Madejski Stadium in Reading on Friday 3rd October, where Dr Brown will make a presentation of Sensdata’s project work to a select judging panel of industry experts

The overall winner and two medallists in each category will be selected and announced at the black-tie gala Awards dinner on the evening of Thursday 4th December at The Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
