About the 2003 Consensus Software Awards

Congratulations to everyone that took part in the 2003 Consensus Software Awards and thank you to our sponsors Microsoft and Sapphire Technologies, and also to Senator Richard Alston for his continued support making the Consensus Software Awards the longest-running independent program for Australian designed software.

Many thanks to Senator Richard Alston, Minister for Communications and Information Technology and Mr. Steve Vamos, Managing Director, Microsoft Pty Ltd for presenting the 2003 Consensus Software Awards on Tuesday 29th April 2003 at the Sheraton on the Park Hotel, and to everyone that attended or contributed to the 2003 program. 

Winners and Finalists will shortly receive copies of the Judges’ Citations, photographs taken on the night and an invitation to license the ‘Endorsed by Consensus’ logo to assist in the on-going promotion of their achievement.  The reproduction on the right shows the full-colour version which is also available in black & white outline and a variety of other formats and can be used for a full twelve months for $1,500 plus GST.

In presenting the Awards, Senator Alston said, “The Consensus Software Awards have become something of a crystal ball for anyone wanting a glimpse of the future of the Australian software sector. That has a lot to do with the performance-based judging criteria used to decide the winners, but it also has a lot to do with the fact that Consensus Award doesn’t begin and end with a hand-shake on Awards night”.

 “The practice of offering targeted support services to finalists and winners, to help them better exploit their opportunities and reach their potential, has added real value and real substance to these awards. And that aspect of the awards has expanded even further this year, with winners to be provided with venture-capital consultancy services to inform them of their options and opportunities for business development and investment”.

He concluded, “The Consensus Awards are about much more than applauding local innovation. They are about industry development. They are about identifying excellence and then helping it become par excellence”.
