Back DEDICATEDengines Ltd Wins Eastern Region E-Business Category of the E-Commerce Awards 2002
(June, 2002)
DEDICATEDengines Ltd, a Hertfordshire based internet application service provider (ASP), which hosts service solutions for supply chain global inventory management and remote asset maintenance, has won the E-Business category in the eastern regional semi-finals of the E-Commerce Awards 2002.
At the eastern region event, hosted by Business Link for Essex, in Chelmsford, on Tuesday 18th June 2002, DEDICATEDengines was one of 276 companies selected for the regional short lists, from 1,683 entries across the UK, recognising organisations whose implementation of E-Commerce and E-Business strategies have afforded them a real and demonstrable success.
The E-Business category required use of the Internet to improve and/or transform business - eg. reducing costs, increasing productivity, enhancing customer service. The judging panel determined that DEDICATEDengines Ltd had "... demonstrated an exemplary use of electronic commerce.".
DEDICATEDengines hosts an innovative integrated global data gathering and communications platform. This allows operational information, from remote sites, such as inventory levels on silos and tanks, to be shared over the internet with all the supply chain players; suppliers, customers, hauliers - via web pages accessible on standard web browsers (like Microsoft Explorer). Real savings can be demonstrated in inventory levels, haulage and logistics costs - and greater operational flexibility can be achieved, through the transparency and immediacy of management information - based on the direct connections to real assets (provided by DEDICATEDengines), rather than using 'out of date', manual, possibly inaccurate, information.
The E-Commerce awards are run by UK online for business, a partnership between Industry and Government, and by InterForum, a not for profit membership organisation that helps British businesses to trade electronically. Sponsored nationally by Cisco Systems and the Royal Bank of Scotland Group and supported by The Daily Express, these awards have been designed to recognise and reward those organisations that have demonstrated excellence through the use of the Internet.
The 2002 awards were open to a range of organisations with fewer than 250 employees, based in the UK, who have achieved tangible gain by using the Internet. Run on a regional basis in four categories, the regional winner of each category goes forward to a National final.
Winners are assessed on the basis of the tangible, quantifiable benefits that have been achieved through the application of the information and communication technology and in particular the use of the Internet. Judges took particular interest in; the target market/audience, the actual business and commercial benefits, how fully the technology has been applied, the level of imagination and standards of the innovation, the beneficial impact to the client group and how use of the Internet has improved the delivery and quality of the product, or service.
The National Awards Gala Dinner final will take place at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London on Wednesday 3rd July 2002.

- Oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical.
