Tenego Partnering will sponsor the "Collaboration of the Year Award" at the upcoming Irish Software Association Awards. The Collaboration Award will be made to the company which, in the opinion of the judges, has generated significant revenue growth and/or strategic market value through a partnership programme.

We feel that the award showcases great partnerships, something we at Tenego Partnering have long been striving to achieve with our clients and we feel the sponsorship is a great fit for both parties.

Here are the companies nominated for this year's award (in no particular order):

QUMAS and Microsoft
