“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 will be awarded each year to architects and organization for significant achievements, during the “iCMG Architecture World conference,” apprised Sunil Dutt Jha, Chief Architect & CEO, iCMG.

“Though this was the first year the awards have been instituted, we received more than 100 entries from across the world and finally 23emerged as winners across categories,” said Jha.

Speaking on the occasion, the global guru and father of Enterprise Architecture, John Zachman 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 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,” added Zachman.

The jury for the awards consisted of working professionals in the industry, all of whom have years of experience in managing complex IT systems & enterprises like Steve Towers, Author, Founder & CEO, BP Group, Manoj Srivastava, Vice President Group IT, Reliance ADAG, J P Zachman, Vice President of Marketing, Zachman International Inc, Jaap Schekkerman, EA Thought Leader, Johan de Wit CEO, Nuphar BV Associate director CIOnet – the Netherlands, Shirish Patwardhan, CTO, KPIT Cummins, Jon Kern, Agile Manifesto Co-Author, Co-Founder TogetherSoft, Abhay Chitnis, CTO & VP, L&T Infotech Ltd, Natty Gur, Chief Enterprise Architect at Dao2Com, Alexander Samarin, BPM Thought Leader, Amar Pandey, IPS, IG Police, Internal Security, GoK, Meenakshi Vajpai, Sr. VP, Bharti Airtel, Peter Presland-Byrne Chief Architect, Bank of America and Sunil Dutt Jha, Chief Architect & CEO, iCMG
