Version One Named Green Champion at National Environment Awards

Document management and imaging software author, Version One (www.versionone.co.uk), has been presented with a ‘Green Champion’ award (science and technology category) at the National Green Apple Environment Awards in recognition of the positive environmental impact of its document management software. Version One was presented with the Green Champion award - the highest honour available - during an awards ceremony held at the House of Commons on 10 November 2008.

The Annual National Green Apple Awards, run by UK-based The Green Organisation, honour companies that demonstrate environmental best practice and are now established as one of the biggest environmental award schemes worldwide. Version One has been a winner at these awards for the past six years in succession, however, this is the first year that Version One has been recognised as a ‘Green Champion’.

Lynne Munns, Version One’s General Manager says, “Version One has been developing software products to help businesses go paperless for many years now and so it’s a tremendous honour to have all our hard work and dedication recognised by this much sought after prize.”

Munns continues, “Organisations are recognising more and more that our document management software not only makes good business sense by reducing costs and improving efficiency, but also saves trees from destruction whilst cutting carbon emissions. It’s the software’s environmental benefits against a backdrop of Government-set carbon reducing targets that will drive its demand moving forward.”

Version One’s document management portfolio enables the electronic creation, delivery, storage, retrieval, management and authorisation of business documents, cutting the production, duplication and circulation of paper. Version One’s software integrates into all major accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and typically provides a return-on-investment within just six months.
