ITAM Implementation of the Year 2018
Recognising excellent ITAM teams or ITAM service providers:
Argos
‘‘We are extremely happy to be recognised by the ITAM review and the judges for the work we have put in over the past 12 months. We have been working to make it happen by working with our partners and as a group, trusting each other and working and succeeding as one team. The SAM team has continued to deliver continuous cost savings by treating every pound as our own and the high value advice we have given to the rest of the business makes it simpler to do the right thing for our customers. This has lifted the SAM profile and taken us to the point where we are looked at as subject matter experts and thought leaders by getting value from the software our organisation utilizes. We support cheering on progress by accepting this award.”
Technology and Service Innovation of the Year 2018
Recognising excellent ITAM service providers, resellers or partners:
ServiceNow
“We are very humbled by the Innovation of the Year award from the ITAM Review. At ServiceNow our goal is to make work, work better for people. We work towards our goal by innovating, and we innovate by listening to our customers. Our strong relationships with our customers guide the use cases we solve for. We deliver SAM differently, on a platform, which opens the door to a zillion use cases not previously possible. In the words of our founder Fred Luddy, “There is no better experience than giving someone a piece of technology that lets them do something they never thought they could do.” We are helping imagine what’s possible when you run SAM natively where you manage IT, by solving the use cases of tomorrow for our customers.”

We would also like to say special thanks to the rest of the Argos team.
Origina’s partnership with clients is about gaining trust between our companies and helping them with their strategies, aiding their technology and guiding them to a future road map with the third-party support we offer. Argos were delighted with our level of service we offered, speed of delivery, response times and their cost savings. We hope to continue to work together in the future and are so pleased we helped aid their road to further success.”

Clare Richards from SoftwareOne
“I was amazed just to be nominated for the ITAM Review awards so to have won is an incredible feeling! I am fortunate to work with such a great and knowledgeable team at SoftwareONE. Working alongside other specialists on a daily basis means I’m always adding to my knowledge and can rely on colleagues to help fill in the gaps and I can help them too. The most important thing is to be able to help my clients and partners so they can make cost-effective decisions for their businesses and hopefully this award strengthens my existing relationships and creates many new ones.”
