Cloud Awards 2026: infrastructure, payroll, automation and innovation entries

Recorded results

The recorded categories are Best Cloud Infrastructure, Best Cloud ERP / Payroll Solution, Best Cloud Automation Solution and Cloud Innovator of the Year. Reading each result with its named product avoids treating the award as a general evaluation of every service offered by the recipient organization. 1

Reading the recognition

The programme profile describes the 2025/26 cycle, while the results in this directory use 2026 as the edition year. That is the year retained throughout this briefing and its related links. It provides a consistent reference when an award cycle spans more than one calendar year.

Programme and coverage

Cloud infrastructure, payroll and automation address different needs, so the four category outcomes should remain separate when quoted. This briefing reports the recorded recognitions and links to their sources. It does not replace a product comparison, security review or assessment of suitability for a particular organization. 1

Coverage is limited to the results cited in this article. The result table retains the published level, category and product wording, with a numbered source for each entry. Follow the related programme and company pages for the directory’s wider recorded coverage.
