Since 2011, The Cloud Awards has sought to promote and celebrate excellence and innovation in cloud computing. Entries are accepted from across the globe and across multiple industry sectors. 

Categories for 2023-2024 include ‘Best Software as a Service,’ ‘Best Use of AI in Cloud Computing’ and ‘Best Cloud Automation Solution.’

Head of Operations for The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said: “In what has been a tough year at times for the tech industry, we have seen another remarkable year of innovation in the Cloud. In particular in 2023, we’ve seen artificial intelligence (AI) and automated machine learning generate huge interest across virtually every field. Yet again, cloud technologies have brought some of our most optimistic expectations to reality, and promised still more.

“Fortunately, technology has not yet outpaced our imaginations, as this year’s remarkable shortlist demonstrates. We have welcomed entrants from a wide spectrum of industry, including online retail, education, healthcare, and data management. Hundreds of cloud-based products and solutions have impressed our judging panel.

“All shortlisted organizations have displayed unique points of merit and made it through a fiercely competitive initial stage.”

MacsStadium CEO Ken Tacelli said: “We are honored to be featured in The Cloud Awards Shortlist, which recognizes innovation within Cloud Computing. Being shortlisted for the Best Cloud Infrastructure category of the 2023-2024 Cloud Awards program is an outstanding achievement and a validation of all the great work our team is doing.”

The Cloud Awards finalists will be announced on Tuesday 19 December 2023 and winners announced on Tuesday 9 January 2024.
