Rocela takes first and second at Scottish Digital Technology Awards

It’s always great to have your efforts recognised by peers – and just as enjoyable to go along to the ceremony and enjoy the accolade. Luckily, at the recent Scottish Digital Technology Awards, we did both and took home two prestigious achievements in different categories.

The evening was also a good opportunity to look back at how we got there. We’ve put a lot of hard work into the business in the last year, across nearly every area – taking on new members of staff and tweaking processes already in place to a new threshold of quality. The judges seemed to understand and recognise these efforts, highlighting several areas throughout our business where they were particularly impressed, based on their judging criteria below:

• Year on year sales growth
• Investment in research and development – switching from selling services to selling products therefore increasing value to our clients
• Design and execution of a channel marketing campaign enabling more of our clients to reduce Oracle costs

Chief of these, and understandably high up our own list of proud achievements is year on year sales growth. This is thanks to almost 100% client retention and increasing numbers of ‘word of mouth’ referrals during the same time period. This has been an outstanding year for our business in that respect and one I think will provide a springboard to future achievements.

It’s also a good time to thank all our staff, new and old, for their contribution to these achievements. It’s only by hiring and maintaining the calibre of staff we have that our continued success and that of our clients can continue.

So, this year “Outstanding Performance in Business Growth” and second place in “Scottish Digital Technology Company of the Year 2011” – next year who knows. We look forward to finding out together.

Rocela Walks away with Silver

By Linda Anderson

With awards season in full swing Rocela is pleased to announce that we’ve won Silver in the category of Managed Services Partner of the Year, at the UK Oracle User Group Awards 2010.

The UK Oracle User Group Awards recognise Oracle Partners for contributions made by offering services to Oracle users. The Managed Services Partner of the Year Award is judged by clients, partner and industry peers and acknowledges high levels of service delivery around Oracle Applications or Oracle Technology.

Winning Silver means that Rocela has been identified as a leader in its field, not only for quality of service delivery but also for value for money, compliance to service level agreements (SLAs) and the client management relationships with regards to ensuring excellent managed service.

We’re proud to have been awarded Silver; it substantiates Rocela’s leadership position within the UK market and shows that we’re setting the standard in the Oracle Managed Services industry. It also proves the benefits of Oracle license optimisation within the within the Software Asset Management (SAM) ISO 19770 framework.

Last, but definitely not least winning Silver is a credit to our Managed Services team who has proven that we can deliver what we say we can. As a team we’d also like to thank our clients for their continued support over the last few years and we look forward continuing these relationships.
