Awards recognize organizations that align their
IT strategy to their business goals to accelerate growth
Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today opened calls for nominations for
its 2024 global Technology Awards in two categories: Technology
Strategy Impact and Enterprise Architecture. These awards recognize
organizations that align their technology strategies 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 — author of the TOGAF® standard,
developed by The Open Group Architecture Forum — recognizes
organizations that demonstrate how their outcome-driven enterprise
architecture (EA) practice fuels change, growth, and
differentiation. Organizations 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 organizations
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.

director at Forrester. “These organizations embody the three
guiding principles of high-performance IT strategy: alignment,
trust, and adaptivity.”
“Enterprise architecture plays a critical role in driving growth
and making a tangible difference in business outcomes. By
identifying and describing the future and current state of the
enterprise, EA provides one of the most effective ways to realize
the organization’s objectives. Recognizing and celebrating EA
practices and initiatives around the world has never been more
important,” said Steve Nunn, president and CEO of The Open
Group.
