TDWI's Best Practices Awards program is designed to identify and honor companies that have demonstrated excellence in developing, deploying and maintaining BI and DW applications. The best practice nominations were evaluated on business impact, maturity, innovation and relevance. Companies and sponsoring solution providers from diverse industries submitted entries that were judged in a variety of categories.
The Best Practices Awards winners were honored at an awards ceremony, which took place at the TDWI World Conference, August 7 - 12, 2011 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego Hotel.
