It's official: Annertech are one of the best Drupal development agencies in the world. We've just been selected by Clutch as market leaders for Drupal services, the only Irish company to achieve such an accolade.

We are delighted to learn that the Building Control Management System (BCMS) project that we built recently for the LGMA has been nominated for an Engineers Ireland Excellence Award.  

Annertech have always been Ireland's pioneers and thought-leaders when it comes to Drupal and open source technology. We have consistently had a new live version of our website ready on the day that a new version of Drupal was released: Drupal 5, Drupal 6, Drupal 7. This time however, we've surpassed and surprised even ourselves: we have a new website - launched today - months in advance of an official release of Drupal 8.

Annertech was very privileged to have the opportunity to work on such an exciting project as the “Inspiring Ireland” website which was funded by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and coordinated by the Royal Irish Academy. This first phase project is a pilot which marks the beginnings of a much larger programme to digitise, preserve, and share Ireland’s culture for public viewing, educational use and scholarly research.

Transparency – everybody is talking about it at the moment. Transparency in government (allowing citizens access to what decisions were made and how those decisions came about), transparency in the non-profit sector (allowing donors to know where their money is being spent), transparency in computer software (allowing users to know what code is being installed on a machine/website).

We've just learnt that the website we built for Oxfam Ireland last year has been nominated in the upcoming Eircom Golden Spiders awards. They're shortlisted in the "Best Social Entrepreneur, Charitable & Non-Profit Organisation". Both myself and Alan will be accompanying Oxfam on the night.

I hope you'll join me in wishing Oxfam Ireland every success in bringing home the award.  

We're delighted to announce that Annertech will be sponsoring the upcoming Drupal Developer Days 2013 being held in Dublin later this year. We've signed up as a silver sponsor and are really looking forward to the event.

A good night out at the Eircom spiders for two of the Annertech team this week. After Stella's little arrival came a bit early, a flu-ridden Edward was drafted in to fill the void.

One of the biggest developments that happened at DrupalCamp Ireland in Dublin earlier this month was the decision to form an organization to manage the promotion of Drupal in Ireland.
