"So, a few weeks before the live award ceremony, we sent the award winners a mysterious package with instructions not to open it until the event was live." As well as some sparkling wine and nibbles to help celebrate the award, the package contained the award certificate itself, which revealed the place that the company had been awarded. b.telligent was entered in the Big Data Consulting category and was delighted to learn that it had picked up the silver award.
