Company description::
For the third year, the Wharton Infosys Business Transformation Awards (WIBTA) will salute corporations and leaders who bring about real, lasting change through information technology. The awards were founded in 2002 by Infosys, a global leader IT consulting and software services, and the William and Phyllis Mack Center for Technological Innovation at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Applicants will be evaluated on the following criteria: Innovative use of technology (ICT), Effective Company / Business Wide Implementation, Models which re-define Industry / Business, Measurable and Sustained Results. This year, WIBTA will comprise The Enterprise Business Transformation Award, recognizing an organization that has best transformed the enterprise using information technology and The Technology Change Agent Award, for an individual who has been a key driver of the use of information technology as a transformation tool.
The winners will be selected by a jury of luminary business and corporate leaders from across the globe. The Jury includes Sir Paul Judge (Banker and Chair of the Cambridge Judge Institute of Management), Esther Dyson (Chairman of EDventure Holdings), David Boyle ( former COO of ANZ Banking Group), Harbir Singh (Director of Wharton’s Mack Centre for Emerging Technologies), and Narayana Murthy (Chairman and Chief Mentor of Infosys). To ensure objectivity, industry panelists will not be involved in reviewing or judging applications from their own industry.
Narayana N R Murthy, Chairman of Infosys Technologies Ltd and the Chairman of the panel of WIBTA judges said, “With the economic downturn of the past few years, change is something that many people have come to fear. However, WIBTA is proud to celebrate and salute agents of change who have transformed threats to opportunities by innovative use of technology. It will applaud corporations and individuals who have introduced creative and innovative changes that have revolutionised their environment.”
WIBTAs are presented to individuals and organisations across the globe.
