2021 Nomination Guide

What is the
Future Enterprise?
The pandemic has left the region
(and the rest of the world) in a state
of flux. While it underscored the
strategic role of digital
transformation (DX) in determining
which organizations will survive the
shift to the digital era, it has also
highlighted that what we’ve come to
know as DX over the past few years
will no longer hold.
In a changed world moving toward the Next Normal, digital transformation itself is changing,
bringing in a new chapter where organizations and their CEOs are reprioritizing their agendas.
The challenge is clear. Winning in the Next Normal means focusing on addressing new
customer requirements, developing new capabilities, and building digital infrastructures that
support resilient operations and pervasive experiences in the new digital economy.
Having pioneered the annual search for Asia/Pacific’s top digital transformation players in
2017, the IDC Digital Transformation Awards must likewise evolve to better capture the
changing face of innovation and digital leadership in the next normal as we expand the
program worldwide.
This year, IDC will bring the IDC Digital Transformation Awards to the next level by redefining
DX, aligning its categories and selection criteria to reflect how organizations will successfully
bring their businesses into the Future.
The Future Enterprise is IDC's vision for how organizations must organize and invest to
participate in increasingly digitally-centric markets.

The Future Enterprise: Mastering Digital Transformation through the Future of X IDC’s vision for the Future Enterprise is a framework for fostering a digitally-native culture, one that enables new synergies in ecosystems, generates revenue from empathy at scale, and demonstrates an ability to adapt operating models to complex customer requirements—all of which are enabled by an intelligent, empowered, and agile workforce. Featuring CEOs’ nine new digital agenda items — pivotal characteristics of the Future Enterprise — these are the new benchmarks for what it takes to lead in the next normal, and how organizations must define their X-factor in the new digital economy. 2021 as the pre- and post-COVID-19 vaccine year will see major and permanent changes to organizations. It is the year where key digital transformation steps will shape organizations into the future. We look forward to recognizing the world’s best in class in each of the Future Enterprise’s digital agendas.

IDC Asia/Pacific I 38th Floor Fuji Xerox Towers, 80 Anson Road, Singapore 079907 I +65 6226 0330Awards Categories
On its 5th year, the IDC Digital Transformation Awards is redefining DX—taking on a new form as IDC
Future Enterprise Awards to reflect a changed world. Digital transformation itself is changing,
bringing in a new chapter where organizations and their CEOs are reprioritizing their agendas. This
year's categories and criteria represent the accelerated paced of Asia/Pacific's organizations, working
towards bringing their businesses into the Future.
Best in Future of Connectedness
This award recognizes the organization that is able to rethink the way people,
things, processes and applications connect to enable the seamless flow of data and
drive business outcomes. It is a fundamental shift in the definition of strategies to
create, consume and collaborate around the data driven in the enterprise
ecosystem. It is an enterprise-wide approach that fosters human-machine
collaboration, enables new skills and worker experiences, and supports an
intelligent and dynamic environment unbounded by time or physical space.
Best in Future of Digital Innovation
This award recognizes the enterprise that best transforms itself from mere
software consumer into full-blown, large-scale software innovator. It is often said
that every company will become a software company. In the move toward
producing software-based products and services, a winning organization shows
that its project or initiative is able to augment or develop software IP (intellectual
property) to create enhanced value for customers or users.
Best in Future of Digital Infrastructure
This award recognizes that a large percentage of a digital enterprise's revenue
depends upon the responsiveness, scalability, and resiliency of the infrastructure
deployed within its own facilities and its ability to take advantage of third-party
provided and operated infrastructure resources delivered as a service.
Best in Future of Industry Ecosystems
This award recognizes an organization’s ability to generate value by its participation
in a new digital economy. New business models will emerge, maybe driven by new
customer requirements and ways of operating, that will spur the creation of
innovative, digital ecosystems that leverage software platforms to deliver scale and
speed.
Best in Future of Customers and Consumers
This award recognizes the organization that is able to rethink and effectively
transform the way customer-related initiatives are done in the organization (e.g.
customer engagement, customer experience, customer service). The Future of
Customers and Consumers is characterized by the changing and shifting nature of
the relationship between customers and brands through a lens or prism of
technology.

IDC Asia/Pacific I 38th Floor Fuji Xerox Towers, 80 Anson Road, Singapore 079907 I +65 6226 0330Awards Categories
Best in Future of Intelligence
This award recognizes the organization that is able to rethink the way they
synthesize information from raw data, learn from these insights and leverage them
at scale across the entire enterprise. It is a fundamental shift in the effective use of
human knowledge and computer-generated insights, fostering greater human-
machine collaboration, and supporting an intelligent and dynamic operating
environment unbounded by traditional knowledge or data silos.
Best in Future of Operations
This award recognizes the organization that is able to rethink the way operations is
managed. It is a fundamental shift in the operations model to one that fosters
resilient operational decision making in the context of the enterprise, and supports
operational strategies that are designed to support increased personalization and
improved customer experience rather than centrally focused on delivering
efficiency above all else. Operational transformation is critical for effectively scaling
digital transformation initiatives.
Best in Future of Trust
This award recognizes the organization that can maintain the trust amid the
evolving needs of its customers. The role of IT in maintaining the trust of customers
and other stakeholders in their enterprises has historically centered on preventing
cyberattacks and data breaches while helping business leaders achieve regulatory
compliance. As the digital transformation age unfolds, however, many are pursuing
initiatives focused on customer experiences and empathy at scale, enterprise and
ecosystem intelligence, smart and autonomous devices, and other efforts that
introduce new trust threats, challenges, and opportunities.
Best in Future of Work
This award recognizes the organization that is able to rethink the way works get
done. It is a fundamental shift in the work model to one that fosters human-
machine collaboration, enables new skills and worker experiences, and supports an
intelligent and dynamic environment unbounded by time or physical space. Work
transformation is critical for effectively scaling digital transformation initiatives.
Special Award for Digital Resiliency
This award recognizes the organization which has demonstrated digital resiliency.
Digital Resiliency is the ability for an organization to rapidly adapt to business
disruptions by leveraging its digital capabilities to not only restore business
operations, but also capitalize on the changed conditions to ensure future success
in the next normal.

IDC Asia/Pacific I 38th Floor Fuji Xerox Towers, 80 Anson Road, Singapore 079907 I +65 6226 0330Awards Categories
CIO/CDO of the Year
This category seeks out a visionary CIO/CDO who has played a determining role
in setting his/her organization’s digitalization goals, and responsible for the
execution of digital transformation (DX) initiatives. Traditionally, the CIO/CDO
would have the authority in making key decisions such as project focus, vendor
selection, budget approvals, and the KPIs at which the project is measured
against, among others. The CIO/CDO of the Year would be the role model within
their organization on how they manage the continuous transition from old to
new tech and experimental to operational in the context of DX, how employees
are equipped, and the enablement and integration of key innovations.
CEO of the Year
This award recognizes the CEO who has developed a strategy to create a future
enterprise. This CEO's vision follows an agenda aligned with the emerging digital
economy, responding to new customer requirements, capabilities, critical
infrastructure, and industry ecosystems. This CEO is an excellent storyteller, and
he or she is successful in delivering this message to the rest of the organization.
He or she continuously stresses the need for a digital enterprise as part of overall
brand and strategy in response to the region's fast-growing digital economy. His
or her vision includes working with partners within the ecosystem to develop
new products, services, and experiences, built by a digitally capable workforce in
a data-driven organization.
Future Enterprise of the Year
This award recognizes the organization which is working towards becoming a
Future Enterprise to lead in the digital economy. A Future Enterprise is a digitally
determined organization where digital is achieved at a scale across its operations,
innovating at a pace that is in an order of magnitude greater than traditional
businesses. It is driven by a customer-centric and empowered workforce that
embraces experimentation and risk-taking as it seeks to continuously improve its
products, services, and experiences. Technology and data are its lifeblood, fueling
more efficient operations, new revenue streams, and heightened customer
loyalty. To put simply, the Future Enterprise is the gold standard of how
organizations must organize and invest to participate in the digital economy.

comprised of IDC worldwide analysts, industry thought leaders, and members of the academia
will determine the regional winners.

party organization (e.g. agencies, associations, IT suppliers, etc.) to gain recognition in the
execution of the initiative across the Future Enterprise Awards categories.
Participating countries include: Australia and New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
A nomination will only be considered valid when the following criteria are met:
• The nominee must be a tech buyer organization. Nominations made by 3rd parties
must include the relevant contact details of the nominated organization so the
assessment can be completed.
• The organization should have a physical office presence in the country where the
nomination is submitted.
• The nominee’s project owner acknowledges and agrees to participate in the IDC Future
Enterprise Awards.
• The nominated project or initiative should have gone live and be at execution stage, or
should have been initiated between January 2019 to present date.

The DX Awards and Summit is a very valuable and inspiring event to every company in the community. It not
only provides a platform for companies to express appreciation to their staff for executing a high standard of
achievement in relevant areas, but it also serves as a platform for other companies to learn from each other,
and contribute as a positive force in accelerating respective technology advancements and operations
transformation during the course of their own business journeys. Best practices extracted from industry peers
further encourage the quick learning curve in adopting upcoming technology and new processes for the
industry and the community.

We are very excited that IDC has an annual DX Awards, which is an excellent program to identify
organizations who are leading in transforming their business in a disruptive way. We feel very honored and
proud that we were able to participate and awarded not just one, but two awards. It was amazing to know
that many organizations introduced digital and analytics transformation projects and received recognition
from IDC, so they can learn from each other. We hope last year’s event will inspire more organizations to
participate in the DX Awards to demonstrate that digital transformation is a must, and IDC is contributing
in making this happen in this region.

Let me thank IDC for recognizing and awarding Mahinda and Mahindra as a country winner in the category
of Special Award for Resiliency. Our resiliency is derived from Mahinda's core mantra - accepting no limit,
alternate thinking, and driving positive change. In this lockdown and pandemic situation, we had to overcome
numerous challenges. We had employed technologies to address these challenges. The recognition from IDC
reaffirms our ability to recover quickly from difficult and tough times.

The IDC DX Awards is truly a prestigious award for our institution since the search cuts across all
industries. It is quite humbling that our efforts are recognized by IDC, an organization globally known for
its research and analysis. The award itself is an inspiration to continue to do more and do it better.
Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Philippines
AirAsia has won a lot of awards which is really cool, but this is special. We’re trying to be more than an
airline and be a digital company. And prove that an old-fashioned corporation can be a digital company
and can be as cool as all those unicorns. Watch out unicorns, old ponies coming!
AirAsia, Malaysia
Technology is one of our key enablers for business in the future, and the recognition that we’re getting
today through IDC means a lot to us because our teams have been working hard. We consider technology
as a core of our business. We are technology-driven, but people-led. So, receiving this recognition is an
achievement because in many different areas, we are trying, we are piloting, we are putting a proof of
concept with different types of technologies.
SATS, Singapore
We’d like to thank IDC for being nominated in the omni-experience innovator category. At Domino’s, we
have a motto that we are always hungry to be better and our customers are always at the core of those
experiences. We’re always trying to push the boundary, therefore what we can achieve in terms of early
adoption of new technology. We are, once again, very excited to be here today.
Domino's, Australia
We are honored and it gave us an enormous boost to confirm that we have been on the right track. I’m
sure that the organization will keep innovating and reinventing itself through digital transformation in an
environment that becomes more challenging every day. For us, innovation is survival. We have been under
many challenges and disruptions over the years, but with hard work, we are here today with more
confidence that we can get through these difficulties through technology. With digital transformation, we
have transitioned from being a media and entertainment company to becoming a full-fledged commerce
organization.
