Split into two categories: Technology Strategy Impact and Enterprise Architecture, the awards recognise organisations that align their IT strategy to their business goals, are quick to adapt to changing market conditions, and focus on building customer trust. Strong alignment is critical to business results: according to Forrester, firms with strong alignment grow 2.4 times faster than peers and have twice the profitability.

Nomination criteria for Forrester’s Technology Awards are as follows:

• Technology Strategy Impact. Award recipients must execute a high-performance IT strategy, which Forrester defines as the pursuit of continuous improvement of business results through technology. Recipients must also demonstrate how they use alignment, trust, and adaptivity to enhance business outcomes with their IT capabilities.
• Enterprise Architecture. This award, presented in partnership with The Open Group recognizes organisations that demonstrate how their outcome-driven enterprise architecture (EA) practice fuels change, growth, and differentiation. Organisations must also show how their EA practice helps their firm manage risk, drive cost efficiency, improve customer experience, and increase revenue.

Nominations for both award categories are open to organisations with 1,000 or more employees that are using technology to improve business outcomes. Technology leaders — including chief information officers, chief technology officers, chief digital officers, and enterprise architects across North America; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific (APAC) — are encouraged to apply.
