Green and Beyond

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 do we drive greater efficiencies, compete more effectively, and respond more quickly by taking action now on energy, the environment and sustainability?

Energy efficient solutions enable organisations to reduce power, decrease floor space and cooling costs, gain greater computer power per unit of energy consumed, and comply with asset disposal and recycling policies and legislation. Green IT/sustainability are also becoming an important part of corporate culture with many IT solutions required to meet specific criteria.

Judges will be looking for solutions where clients have found business value in green solutions, through smart systems and corporate social responsibility.

Entries now closed.
