iCMG - Enterprise & IT Architecture Excellence Awards 2012

Architecture Awards

Welcome

On behalf of iCMG management and the jury, I am happy to invite nominations for the world’s most coveted Enterprise & IT Architecture Awards. This year is the third year in a row. In the last two years, the experience and excitements of the participants and winners (2010, 2011) were breathtaking. Personally, it's a fulfilling and rewarding experience to interact with the participants from over 20+ countries, jury members and of course, the grand finale at the Awards night. We have received several valuable inputs during last 24 months. jury

Thanks for overwhelming response. This Year we have received Nomination from 27 countries.

As we unfold this year's award competition, you will find some new award categories, few revised rules and of course an increased size in the jury. Not to mention, we will have to adhere to the submission dates.

John Zachman Award for Enterprise Architecture

As you are aware, we have also instituted the "Zachman award for Enterprise Architecture" which will be awarded every year along with other architecture awards.

John A. Zachman Enterprise Architecture Award 2011 was bestowed upon Amar Kumar Pandey in acknowledgement and appreciation of his innovative employment of Enterprise Architecture concepts in Criminal Investigation.

Both iCMG and Zachman International will work closely to ensure that award is managed and delivered with equanimity. Again, this year we look forward to getting nominations, which will meet the benchmark for the Oscar of Enterprise Architecture.

CIO to CEO transformation – a new award category

Organizations are embracing the reality of information-age wherein “ enterprise” happens to be the most complex object. Unfortunately, a very small percentage of CIOs are climbing the ladder of CEO. This award is to a person who has successfully transformed from a CIO (Chief Information Officer)

to a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and in the process has made a significant contribution to the success of the enterprise. Nominations for this award can be made by the well-wishers, professionals or a representative of the management.

If you want your hard work, and achievement to get noticed - a coveted award will help you to compete better. Earn the honor, recognition and respect you deserve. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers
