Savenet Solutions has been named a finalist in three categories at the Tech Excellence Awards 2026 Ireland's most respected recognition for technology delivery, innovation and impact. It's a strong endorsement of the work our team does every day for Irish businesses, and one of our biggest showings at the Tech Excellence Awards to date.
Savenet's three Tech Excellence Awards 2026 nominations
Savenet Solutions has been shortlisted in the following Tech Excellence Awards categories:
SME Project of the Year
Managed Service Provider of the Year
Rising Star of the Year: Marcos Rodrigues
Three shortlists in a single year is recognition for the work we put in beyond the brief. Across every nomination, the through-line is the same: a team hyper-focused on service delivery, obsessive about the details others overlook, and consistently doing more than what's contracted on every engagement.
Why these Tech Excellence Awards nominations matter
The Tech Excellence Awards are one of the most rigorous and respected awards programmes in the Irish technology sector, recognising the providers, projects and people delivering measurable impact for Irish business. The judging panel is independent, the field is competitive, and the categories reward genuine outcomes, not marketing noise. Being shortlisted at the Tech Excellence Awards is, in itself, a meaningful signal of quality.
SME Project of the Year
This nomination recognises a project Savenet delivered for an Irish SME in under 12 months. Faced with a severely neglected IT estate and complex challenges, including missing credentials, incomplete migrations, unpatched systems, and urgent security gaps. Savenet rebuilt the organisations IT infrastructure across four offices, consolidated and upgraded endpoints, completed Azure migration, and delivered enterprise-grade security without increasing costs. The project resulted in €119,000 year-one savings, recurring cost reductions, a dramatic improvement in cyber resilience, and a secure, modern workplace, all achieved under extreme constraints and without service disruption.
Managed Service Provider of the Year
Recognition in the MSP of the Year category sits at the heart of what Savenet Solutions does. ISO 27001 certified since 2014, 20+ years of experience, and a partnership model built on transparency, every ticket visible, every device tracked, security scores maintained above 85%. The Tech Excellence Awards shortlist is a strong endorsement of the standards our delivery team holds itself to.
Rising Star of the Year
A special mention for Marcos Rodrigues. His shortlist is well-earned and reflects the kind of curiosity, ownership and customer focus we want every Savenet team member to be known for. Marcos, the whole team is behind you on this one.
Five years of Tech Excellence Awards recognition
Savenet Solutions has been shortlisted in at least three categories at the Tech Excellence Awards every year for the past five years, and has won an award in each of those five years. A triple shortlist at the Tech Excellence Awards 2026 keeps that record intact.
For Irish businesses choosing a managed service provider, that level of sustained, independent recognition matters more than any single year's result. It's evidence that the delivery, security and customer outcomes being promised are the same ones a panel of judges sees, year after year.
Credit where it's due
A nomination at this level is never one person's work. It's engineers picking up tickets early, account managers asking the harder questions, technical leads holding the line on standards, and a support team that treats every issue as if it were their own business going down. To everyone at Savenet, thank you. The shortlist is yours.
What's next
The winners will be announced at the Tech Excellence Awards ceremony later this week. Whatever the result, three nominations is a strong signal that our team's work is landing where it counts, with customers, with partners, and with the wider Irish tech community.
We'll be cheering on Marcos and the team on the night. Wish us luck.
