The 2007 award for best ict research has gone to Dr Hans Sassenburg of the Software Improvement Group, Switzerland.

Hans Sassenburg conducted research into the timing of new software releases.

Mr. Sassenburg conducted research into a dilemma faced by software producers: when to release newly developed software? Releasing products too soon increases the risk of errors and the inevitable consequences. Conversely, if they wait too long, they give the competition too much room. In its report, the jury praised the comprehensiveness of Hans Sassenburg’s research.
