New IDC Best in Future of Connectedness North America Awards Open for Submissions

New awards showcase organizations that rethink the way people, things, processes, and applications connect to enable the seamless flow of data and drive business outcomes

NEEDHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Connectedness–International Data Corporation (IDC) today announced the inaugural IDC Future Enterprise Best in Future of Connectedness North America Awards, designed to recognize organizations that are able to rethink the way people, things, processes, and applications connect to enable the seamless flow of data and drive business outcomes. Awards recognizing unique solutions and business success stories will be presented at a ceremony in May 2022.

The transformation of connectedness is fundamental to realizing sustainable and scalable digital transformation. IDC’s Future of Connectedness research practice asserts it is an enterprise-wide approach that will foster human-machine collaboration, enable new skills and worker experiences, and support an intelligent and dynamic environment unbounded by time or physical space.

In the nominations, IDC is looking for details on implemented initiatives, such as pilots or projects, as opposed to ideas or planned initiatives. Primary requirements of all Best in Future of Connectedness nominations are:

  1. Must be a Future of Connectedness initiative as defined by IDC.
  2. All nominations must be in production with existing customers/users since January 2019.
  3. Must be able to articulate and show key performance indicators to ascribe value to the completed project.

The winner of this category must demonstrate at least one of the following:

  • Ability to deliver a solution and/or business strategy (i.e., using technologies like 5G, virtual private networks, remote access solutions, SD-WAN, deployment of mobile devices) fostering human-human and human-machine collaboration toward delivery of defined business outcomes.
  • Ability to deliver connectivity and networking solutions that provide scalable, secure access anytime, anywhere, and drive pervasive experiences for employees, customers, and partners.
  • Ability to deliver a secure and dynamic environment that allows the enterprise to maintain business operations in light of disruptive events including cyberattacks, pandemics, and natural disasters.

To submit a nomination, visit HERE. Deadline for submission is October 30, 2021. If you have questions regarding your entry, please contact Heather Ball at hball@idc.com.

Note: IT Vendors and Technology Consultants do not qualify for the IDC Future Enterprise Awards. Vendors may instead nominate completed projects on behalf of their clients.

“Connectivity is the common denominator in how people, things and processes interact. For consumers and organizations, increased reliance on digital engagement requires ubiquitous, reliable, and robust connectivity. As digital interactions continue to increase, however, it’s clear that connectivity is not yet seamless or pervasive,” said Paul Hughes, research director, Future of Connectedness at IDC. “Our Best in Future of Connectedness Awards will shine a light on those organizations that have successfully addressed this unevenness in connectivity across different environments and locations to successfully meet employee and consumer expectations.”
