Malden Electronics conducted the technical testing for three award categories: Best Consumer VoIP; Best Business ITSP (Micro); and Best Business (SMEs). Entrants in these categories underwent two months of technical testing. Separately, entrants to all categories had to complete a written self-assessment, which were independently reviewed by the ITSPA Awards judges. The ITSPA Members’ Pick was a selected shortlist from the membership, outlining companies and services who they believed had provided “real value to the industry in recent years“.
