Google recognised for promoting women in IT
Google has been recognised as the employer who has done the most to promote the careers of women in IT.
The recognition was made last Thursday by the British Computer Society at its annual awards event at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
Google beat off competition from, among others, Microsoft, Guardian News & Media, Nominet and Accenture to win the accolade.
The BCS also granted two awards to BT.
Al-Noor Ramji, BT's chief information officer and the man charged with heading up the design of all BT's networks - including the often criticised £10bn 21CN national network - won the IT leader of the year award.
BT was also presented with the Best Use of Green Technology trophy for the way it is starting to implement the datacentres behind 21CN.
The telco is aiming to reduce its datacentre-related carbon emissions by 80 percent over the next nine years.
CNET Networks, the parent company of ZDNet.co.uk, boasts its own awards event, the CNET Networks UK Technology Awards, which is held in Central London in September each year.
