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 will be recognized at the TDWI World Conference in San Diego, which will take place August 18–23, 2013, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego Hotel.
