With more categories this year, the Real IT Awards will give entrants more opportunities to demonstrate and celebrate Real IT success.

Some previous categories, such as Delivering Business Value and Working Smarter have been split into Public and Private sector awards to recognise the different challenges faced in each sector. Innovation in IT has been expanded to cover Innovation in Business, Infrastructure, Public Sector, Cloud Computing and Mobile.

An overall winner for IT Project of the Year will be chosen from the individual category winners.
