THE CDOTRENDS READER’S CHOICE AWARDS

Identifying the movers and shakers of digital transformation

Vote Now


THE “WHY” BEHIND THE AWARDS



Digital enablement and Data transformation is reaching a new level of maturity
in the Asia Pacific after two years of the pandemic. After months of chronicling
and silently observing the diverse digital transformation journeys and the
rising role of data, we decided to set a benchmark for the region. This is what
has spurred the desire for these Awards.

The vendor categories seek to determine the top names that are seen as leaders
by our readers across critical themes. These include data science, digital/data
orchestration, customer experience, data privacy, digital infrastructure, cloud
platforms, collaboration, artificial intelligence and innovation.

The user categories look at leading use cases and individuals driving the
digital vision and landscape in the Asia Pacific region.

As an inaugural competition, we are looking to recognize leading solutions for
digital enablement and the role of data. We feel that the market is ready for
one where our CDOTrends readers — all 45,000+ of them — who are involved in
driving digital, data and business transformation projects -- are able to add
their opinions. It will also set the tone for the years to come, as digital
enablement, data strategies and transformation become the new business normal




ABOUT THE COMPETITION



The competition is made up of two parts: vendors and users.

13 of the awards are for vendors, with 12 of them having specific themes, and
are open for nomination. These 12 awards cover vital aspects of digital
enablement (transformation). These aspects were determined through research from
trends and observations from various analyst reports, including but not limited
to Forrester, Gartner, and IDC.

By no means are they meant to be exhaustive, and will be amended and expanded as
required in the future.

The last category is a closed category that will highlight key vendors who have
done well in voting from the other categories.

In the user categories, we are looking to award leading projects and individuals
in digital transformation. These awards are open for nomination and
self-nomination (except for chief digital officer/chief data officer of the
Year). The winner will be determined by an esteemed panel of judges, who will
examine each proposal.
