Northdoor picks up a ‘European IT Excellence Award’ reinforcing its position as a leading data analytics solutions provider

Northdoor, the business IT consultancy and solutions provider, today announced that it has won a 2012 European IT Excellence Award in the ‘SMB – Transformation Solution of the Year’ category for its work with Deutsche Postbank AG. Northdoor implemented the IBM Smart Analytics System for the London branch of Deutsche Postbank, accelerating business reporting, saving significant time and effort for key personnel, and delivering consistent, reliable management information for one of the leading commercial real estate lenders.

This award adds to what is turning out to be a very successful year for Northdoor, having already picked up four IBM Centre of Excellence Awards for Business Partners for the second year running. These recognitions highlight Northdoor’s skills across a wide range of IBM solutions and reinforce its commitment to its clients.

Clarel Sookun, Head of IT at Deutsche Postbank AG said, “Northdoor facilitated the selection of the solution, and engaged with the best people at IBM to help with the deployment. Northdoor’s excellent knowledge of both the IBM hardware and software that constitute the solution was a major help. The Smart Analytics System has really proved its worth by reducing the effort it takes to produce accurate and timely reports for the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) business. Northdoor has also been invaluable in assisting us in the deployment of those reports using the Cognos suite of software. We are extremely happy for Northdoor in winning this well-deserved award.”

AJ Thompson, Director of Enterprise Infrastructure at Northdoor said, “We’re very pleased to get further industry recognition for our efforts to provide clients with the best possible data analytics and management information solutions. We are committed to developing our offering in this area to ensure clients meet their key business objectives, especially their data security and business analytics needs. This renewed focus highlights the value our clients are placing in the role of information management in today’s business environment. We are proud of our dedicated partnership with IBM in this field and hope to continue our good work with Deutsche Postbank.”

Andy Renshaw, Head of Information Management at Northdoor said, “Northdoor’s expertise covers both IBM hardware and software, which makes us a particularly strong partner in delivering information management solutions. Our extensive knowledge and experience in delivering IBM solutions also means that we are able to advise, implement and manage processes at all levels most appropriate to each of our clients’ individual needs.”
