Esker’s solutions help Finance teams streamline their processes, strengthen control and accelerate cash conversion through AI-driven automation.

The Cloud Awards, run by the international organization of the same name, has been recognizing excellence in cloud computing for over 15 years. Companies of all sizes worldwide, including North America, Europe, the Middle East and the APAC region, entered the 2025/26 awards.

The program celebrates multiple areas of cloud computing, including AI, cybersecurity, SaaS, Internet of Things (IoT) and innovation. Awards are also presented to outstanding solutions in areas including CRM, ERP, automation, finance operations and communications — and to organizations excelling in customer strategy, workplace culture and consultancy.

CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said: “We’re delighted to announce the winners of The 2025/26 Cloud Awards. It has been a real privilege for our judging team to review such a high caliber of nominations throughout this year’s awards, resulting in a number of closely fought categories across the program.”

Williams continued, “Esker is more than deserving of their win, impressing our panel with their ongoing commitment to excellence, customer focus and driving value through innovation. Many congratulations to them, and their fellow 2025/26 winners. We are very excited to see what they do next!”

We look forward to celebrating this success and using it as a springboard for even greater things in the months and years to come.”
