TDWI's Best Practices Awards program is designed to identify and honor companies that have demonstrated excellence in developing, deploying, and maintaining BI and DW applications. Winners are chosen by a panel of independent judges who have expertise in BI and DW. Companies and sponsoring solution providers from many diverse industries submitted entries to be judged in a variety of categories.
TDWI's panel of judges evaluated all submissions on four criteria: business impact, maturity, innovation, and relevance. "Given the challenges and complexities of business intelligence and data warehousing implementations, BI/DW practitioners often do not know where to turn for practical advice and peer networking. The TDWI business intelligence Best Practices Awards program is intended to share successful strategies with the larger community. By sharing best practices, it is TDWI’s intention to create a venue for peer-to-peer connection, and to advance the practice of BI/DW,” said Richard Zbylut, general manager of TDWI.
