The SDI awards are the most coveted awards in the IT service and support management industry. The awards were judged across a range of categories that included customer satisfaction, leadership, processes and performance results, people management, staff satisfaction and social responsibility. The selection process also included a visit to the Service Desk location in Eastern Europe, where judges spoke to staff to ensure all principles in the submission are put into practice according to the judging criteria.

John Cotterell, Endava’s CEO said, “We are very proud of our service desk team for this fantastic result and their passion for delivering excellent customer service.  In 2013 Endava achieved further significant growth, with the Service Desk and Managed Services making a major contribution. We have added two new dedicated Service Desks for blue chip clients and seen increased demand for the flexible, shared services provided by the team.  As the first, and often only, point of contact with Endava, the Service Desk is a window into our business. In a year which has seen volumes and staffing increase by over 100% , this award is further testament to the enthusiasm and commitment of our staff.  Well done to everybody on the Service Desk, you are playing an important role in Endava’s success!”
