Final BETT blog

I just got a chance to look at the winners of the awards.  One stood out like a sore thumb and I don't really agree with it.

LSIS won the award for FE Management Systems.  Now if BESA (which stands for the British Educational Suppliers Assoication) who organsie the awards and are a big part of BETT really want a thriving commercial industry, giving awards to publicly funded bodies who don't live in the same commercial world as we do is a very strange thing to do.

How can I (as a 6 person company) compete with the unlimited budgets and no need to make any commercial decisions of LSIS - it's just wrong.

If publicy funded bodies want to take part in this type of award then they should have a seperate category.
