Announcing the Shortlist for Ibexa Partner Awards 2021

Is it you?

We’ve seen a lot of change at Ibexa over the past year – no less than changing the company and product name to Ibexa from eZ – but one thing that hasn’t changed is that we shall continue to recognize our partners who have delivered excellence with Ibexa DXP for their customers with our prestigious annual awards.

The on-going Covid-19 pandemic has seen a greater urgency for companies to go digital: to be agile with their sales models, transact online and place customer experience at the heart of every project, and this year we saw a wealth of nominations. Now the votes have been counted and the judges have released the shortlists for each award.
