HFS SaS Awards

Showcase your innovation. Shape the future.​

How to enter the HFS SaS Awards

Submitting your entry is simple—and free. The process is designed to spotlight your innovation, not create extra work.

What you’ll need to submit

  • A nomination form detailing how your solution meets each evaluation criterion.
  • Up to three supporting files (e.g., case studies, testimonials, collateral).
  • A 30-minute session with the HFS team to demonstrate your solution (if shortlisted).

You can complete and upload everything directly in the online form—no separate one-page document is required.

Tips for a strong submission

  • Be concise; focus on measurable impact, collaboration, and innovation.
  • Use supporting documents to show real outcomes, not just intent.
  • Include data or client results where possible.

Next steps
After submitting your entry:

  1. HFS will review all nominations.
  2. After all entries are reviewed, three finalists per category (15 total) will be shortlisted. Shortlisted organizations will be invited to a 30-minute session with the HFS team to demonstrate their solution and discuss measurable outcomes. Winners will then be selected based on innovation, impact, and alignment with the Services-as-Software evaluation criteria.
  3. Finalists will be reviewed by the HFS OneCouncil and Global Advisory Board.
