We are thrilled to have been chosen as a finalist for three separate categories in the esteemed UK Business Tech Awards 2023. This recognition is a testament to our exceptional change delivery achievements for our clients, our own sustainable business growth, and our team’s unwavering commitment to driving positive change.
Tech Company of the Year: Driving Positive Change and Exceptional Growth
Over the past year, Perform Partners has consistently delivered outstanding results in key areas that define our ethos: people development, client delivery, portfolio diversification, and environmental and social impact. We take great pride in being the partner of choice for change management and project delivery, and this recognition validates our team’s relentless efforts in streamlining operations, evolving branding strategies, strengthening our in-house technical capabilities, and prioritising corporate social responsibility.
Transforming Through Tech: Perform Partners’ Impact in the Public Sector
Our exceptional achievements haven’t gone unnoticed. In addition to being a finalist for Tech Company of the Year, Perform Partners along with The University of Sheffield have also been shortlisted for two more coveted categories: ‘Transformation Through Tech’ and ‘Best Application of Tech – Public Sector.’ These accolades directly result from our successful implementation of change initiatives within the Higher Education sector.
Bella Abrams, Director of IT Services, University of Sheffield, said: “The collaborative work with Perform Partners to transition our core systems to a robust and secure cloud-based infrastructure has been a significant leap forward for the University, effectively future-proofing our technology infrastructure and ensuring that we can scale and adapt to emerging trends and challenges in the years to come.
By embracing cloud-based services, we are empowering our entire University community with enhanced collaboration tools, greater accessibility to resources, and a more agile and responsive learning environment in a way that also aligns with our sustainability goals. By reducing our reliance on physical hardware, we are significantly decreasing our carbon footprint, contributing to a greener and more environmentally conscious campus.”
One of Perform Partner’s proudest achievements was revolutionising the user experience for our clients through a seamless native Cloud build and migration journey. Modernising critical core systems delivered resilient, secure, and scalable solutions, setting a student-centric technology precedent and transforming our clients’ roadmaps.
“We are honoured to be shortlisted for the UK Business Tech Award alongside our friends at The University of Sheffield,” said Shaun Walsh, Co-founder and Director at Perform Partners. “This recognition across the two technology categories is a testament to our great collaboration and to the successful outcomes achieved throughout the delivery. We are proud to have played a key role in helping the university with its digital transformation.
Additionally, we are honoured and thrilled to have been selected as a finalist for the Tech Company of the Year award. Our team remains dedicated to sustainable scalability through controlled growth, continuous improvement of our methodologies, and exceptional execution. We place great importance on nurturing our company culture, sourcing and developing internal capabilities, and ensuring sustainable growth across all aspects of our business.”
