Unique Opportunity for Non-IT SMEs

The IT world judges SMEs in non-IT businesses as IT-averse and late movers. We believe that it does not hold true, and there is a silver line. There exist savvy SMEs who derive the best from IT investment. There exist SME leaders who take information security extremely seriously. There exist IT managers who make prudent decisions to make IT contribute positively to business. We want to recognize them, felicitate them, reward them, and share their success stories with the SME fraternity. We believe that this kind of recognition was long overdue. And this fantastic idea is executed by the United SMEs.

Here is the first of its kind awards for Non-IT SME Businesses. We call them SME IT Excellence Awards for Non-IT SMEs. Their more considerable impact will help create awareness about Cybersecurity, Data Protection, IT Standardization, and Digitization. Jury members with the illustrious background will examine the entries, select the winners and give feedback to those who did not win it. Winners will get life-changing prizes.

There are three award categories. There is no nomination fee to apply for this award.
