The jury of this year’s Luxembourg Cloud Awards recognised three innovative projects by Husky Technologies, Advanzia Bank and Clearstream, with Husky winning the cloud innovation project award. 

Following a call for applications in February by Luxembourg’s cloud association, Cloud Community Europe–Luxembourg, Husky Technologies’ cloud solution was selected by this year’s jury as the cloud innovation project of the year.

The awards ceremony that took place on 5 May at the PwC Luxembourg auditorium put the spotlight on the sole award category--Cloud Innovation Project of the Year--aimed at celebrating excellence and innovation in cloud-based service solutions that are impactful and transform business agility.

Three projects were distinguished by the jury this year during the final selection round with the main award given to tech company specialised in manufacturing solutions, Husky Technologies, for its Advantage+Elite™ We Call You service, which is based on a cloud platform that monitors, reacts, and adapts to maintain system performance and avoid performance losses.

The other two projects distinguished by the jury include Advanzia Bank’s cloud-native UX digital platform that provides omni-channel touch points for customers across Europe and Clearstream’s data layer project for big data handling.

“Without taking away from the quality of the other two awardees, the platform designed by Husky shows us in the most tangible and concrete way all the business value that a cloud approach can bring. With this project, Jean-Christophe Witz and his team, are showing the way to the country's manufacturing companies: the 100 customers connected to the fully operational and secure solution are proof that the cloud is today an almost unavoidable tool for the digitisation of the industry,” said Nicolas Sanitas, senior advisor and digital community coordinator at Luxinnovation and co-chair of the jury.

“We have developed something that is not only a new way for Husky to serve its customers, but it is truly innovative in our industry. It is part of our Industry 4.0 transformation, and we are thrilled to this award in recognition for our solution. Thank you all on behalf of Husky to FEDIL, the Ministry of the Economy and Luxinnovation for their support over the years, said Husky Technologies chief information officer, Jean-Christophe Witz.
