Persol wins Best Software Company award

Persol Systems Limited, one of the foremost indigenous information and communications technology (ICT) firms in the country, has been awarded the Best Software- Company of the Year at the just-ended Ghana Telecoms Awards.

The award was given on account of the company’s track record in developing cutting edge software that addressed real world problems.

Persol, which has been at the forefront of constant innovations, is noted for developing some of the best software that has solved the peculiar needs of its clientele.

“We are excited about this recognition and I am sure this will spur us on to deliver more solutions for clients and our country,” the General Manager of Persol, Mr Jerry Okantey, stated.

He added that the company was grateful to God for the recognition and dedicated the award to Persol’s customers, staff and Ghanaians who continued to believe in the company, saying the award would spur the company on to develop even more exciting products.  

Persol has recently added to its product portfolio the Voter Verification and Voting System, which delivers a practical solution to voter verification and voting in Africa, especially in countries that have introduced biometric fingerprint voter ID cards and where manual paper ballots are still used. 

The system enforces the one-man-one-vote principle and renders ballot-stuffing and over-voting as futile adventures, while ensuring that ballot accounting and statements of polls are automated with enhanced credibility. 

The company is making a strong case to the people of this country, voters, public leaders, including politicians, to show support for a Ghanaian solution to a continental problem.
