This year, IRIS is shortlisted in two categories: ‘Multi-Hybrid Cloud Product of the Year’ and ‘Best Cloud Support Provider’; winners are slated to be revealed at the award ceremony in London on 18 September.
The Cloud Excellence Awards honour products, projects and individuals that embody both innovation and delivery — taking their ideas through to a successful end state with satisfied customers and provable returns. This is the second year in a row that IRIS Software Group has been recognised for its software-as-a-service cloud products after winning the ‘Cloud Vendor of the Year’ Cloud Excellence Award in 2023.
Between April 2023 to April 2024, more than 5,500 customers migrated to IRIS’ cloud-hosted accountancy platform, IRIS Elements, achieving a 95% cumulative customer satisfaction (CSAT) score. Elements is a cloud solution for accountants, firms and practices featuring an unparalleled ‘hybrid-by-design’ architecture that allows firms to transition to the cloud at their own pace. Elements is part of IRIS’ portfolio of personalised cloud solutions for its 24,000+ UK bookkeeping and accountancy customers, tailored to align with the unique needs and proficiency levels of each client and cater to both simple and high-end complex compliance requirements.
Similarly, IRIS helped facilitate more than 920 migrations from on-premise HR and payroll products to its Staffology by IRIS cloud-hosted platform in FY24, helping customers triple their productivity. Currently, Staffology by IRIS supports more than 2,000 businesses and 250,000 employees.
