Each winner presented on their achievement at the conference:

• Grzegorz Ukleja, chief information officer, and Simon Brimicombe, head of Consumer, Colonnade, described their experience of deploying one platform, with one instance across six countries in under two years. They are achieving efficiency from a single platform across all their markets and are providing a customer-driven solution, using data and state-of the-art technology that is built for the future.
