Six Indian companies were among the 21 award winning companies who walked home with awards of excellence amidst enough fanfare at the Architecture Excellence Awards 2010 organized by iCMG.
“The idea behind “Architecture Excellence Awards” is to honor architects & enterprises whose work demonstrates a combination of talent, vision & workmanship, which are creating successful and enduring systems & enterprises. The international awards are awarded each year to architects and organization for significant achievements, during the “iCMG Architecture World summit. This is the second year for the awards and the response and well as awards given away have been tremendous,” said, Sunil Dutt Jha, Chief Architect & CEO, iCMG.
John Zachman, Father of Enterprise Architecture said, “Though the idea of enterprise architecture was seeded nearly 30 years back, only recently we find that there is growing acceptance and demand for this discipline. The Architecture Excellence Awards, now in its 2nd year is a great stride forward for enterprise architects with iCMG bringing international recognition for their valuable contribution to business performance. We have also instituted the “Zachman award for Enterprise Architecture” which will be awarded every year along with other architecture awards. However, this year we felt no company met the benchmark set for the award hence there are no winners in the category. Both iCMG and Zachman International will work closely to ensure that award is managed and delivered with equanimity. Hopefully, with time it should become the Oscar for the Enterprise Architects,”
