Smart Work

2009 represents a year of change and opportunity for New Zealand businesses. The 2009 Business Partner awards recognises organisations that have demonstrated considerable business value to their customers, by implementing successful IT projects using IBM technologies.

Each entry will need to highlight:
Good account management leading to positive customer satisfaction.
A solution that addresses the customer's business needs and delivers benefits.
Good service, support and technical expertise.
Pre-sales, technical and implementation capability.

The primary focus will be on the customer solution, not your business growth. Therefore, there is no limitation on the solution size or dollar value. All deals must be completed and implemented within the period from 1 August, 2008 until 1 August, 2009.

How can we work smarter by using flexible and dynamic processes designed for the way people buy, live and work today?

Organisations supported by agile business models and dynamic business processes are uniquely positioned to win. Reaching connected customers takes personalisation and collaboration. This includes providing a rich user experience to customers, suppliers, employees and partners. In today’s fluctuating economy, the ability to adapt to changing economic conditions is a critical factor in mitigating risk and driving profit.

Judges will be looking for solutions that embrace change, empower people (employees, customers and suppliers) and drive profit.

Entries now closed.
