The Best Places to Work in IT program by Computerworld has established itself as a global benchmark for identifying companies that offer the best working conditions for technology professionals. Participating in this initiative not only provides visibility but also forces organizations to reflect on their internal policies, their digital culture, and the real impact of technology on team well-being. For a development company like Q2BSTUDIO, which daily drives projects for custom applications and critical infrastructure solutions, being part of this ranking is an opportunity to demonstrate how technical excellence aligns with outstanding human management.
The application process for the 2027 edition is open and requires attention to several requirements. Companies must have at least 100 total employees and a minimum of 5 IT professionals, understood as those who provide internal technology support or support multiple companies from a service provider. Excluded are administrative roles within the IT department, external contractors, or staff focused on product development for external sale. A key difference from previous editions is that there is no longer a separate employee survey: now a panel of experts evaluates the company's responses, which requires rigorous preparation of data on benefits, turnover, promotions, and diversity in IT management positions.
The nomination window has been extended until July 31, 2026 (Friday), and companies can self-nominate or be proposed by third parties. Once the invitation is received, the person in charge —ideally an HR representative, the CIO, or a multidisciplinary team— must complete an online questionnaire covering everything from salary evolution to the adoption of modern technology. At this point, having a solid foundation in workplace modernization is a differentiator. For example, implementing AWS and Azure cloud services not only optimizes costs and scalability but also allows IT teams to work with flexible and secure environments, a factor that the ranking values as part of culture and growth.
Beyond bureaucratic compliance, preparation for the program must be strategic. Outstanding companies often have mature cybersecurity and artificial intelligence policies —from enterprise AI to AI agents that automate repetitive tasks— as well as Power BI tools and other business intelligence services that democratize information. At Q2BSTUDIO, we understand that a motivated technology workforce performs better when they have custom software that solves real problems, and when the company invests in continuous training and an environment where innovation is not a slogan but a daily practice. Therefore, many organizations that collaborate with us find in this evaluation a reliable thermometer of their digital and human maturity.
Results will be published in December 2026 on Computerworld.com, and selected companies will receive a press kit to communicate the achievement. The experience accumulated over 33 years shows that companies appearing on the list not only retain talent better but also attract the best profiles in the market. For those wishing to apply, the first step is to contact the program team at bestplaces@computerworld.com or complete the nomination form. And if they need support to strengthen their technological value proposition, at Q2BSTUDIO we accompany companies throughout the transformation cycle: from designing custom applications to implementing AI agents and dashboards with Power BI, ensuring that technology serves people and business results.
