The London Hilton on Park Lane hosted this year's UK Channel Network Awards.

Anglia Business Solutions’ LinkFresh deployment at the Produce World Group has been named Enterprise Vertical Market Solution of the Year at the 2008 UK Channel Network Awards.

The Enterprise Vertical Market category was for major IT solutions integrated into the client’s line of business which show a real understanding of the needs of the client and of the industry segment. Judges were looking for innovative solutions that enabled the organisation to be more productive, efficient or effective in their particular market segment.

Based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the LinkFresh solution was initially deployed in Produce World’s British and Brazilian subsidiary, and is now being rolled out across the group. The system combines financial management, a paperless pack house production facility and a range of business mobility applications.

“The Anglia Business Solutions entry this year was pitched in at the highest level in the enterprise space,” said David Hurley, managing director of Anglia. “Here, we were competing against major solutions involving significant budgets at national level. It is therefore gratifying just to be shortlisted in such elevated company, and to win the award was a magnificent achievement. The judges described this year’s entries as being of the highest calibre ever, and highlighted the vertical and mobility sectors as being the most competitive”.

“We are delighted that our LinkFresh solution has gained well-deserved national recognition by winning this highly prestigious award,” said Ian Batkin, global finance director of Produce World. “The Anglia and Produce World teams have successfully collaborated to deliver a system that will provide us with an excellent productivity aid using dynamic information. We believe that this would have not been feasible using our older legacy systems.”
