Thirty enterprise teams and individuals from around the world have been named winners of the first-ever Digital Engineering Awards, launched this year by L&T Technology Services (LTTS) in association with Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, and leading business news channel CNBC-TV18.
The winners were honoured during a gala dinner and awards ceremony held last night at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson, in Jersey City, N.J., U.S.A.
The Digital Engineering Awards, a first-of-its-kind initiative for the global ER&D community, celebrates the engineering, R&D, and technology work of engineering teams and individuals who are consistently redefining innovation, developing new technologies for the benefit of their companies, stakeholders and communities, and championing the cause of sustainable change within the industry.
Two types of awards are presented – Engineering The Change (for organizations) and Engineer At Heart (for individuals) – across nine categories.
The inaugural edition of the Digital Engineering Awards attracted participation across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific from more than 70 global organizations – all market leaders in their respective industries spanning automotive, aerospace, industrials, plant engineering, telecom and hi-tech, and medical devices. More than 120 separate nominations were submitted for consideration.
The winners were selected by a distinguished panel of judges comprised of Dr. Marcos Kauffman, Coventry University; Greg Powers, BayoTech; and Prashant Kelker, Gaurav Gupta, and Steve Hall of ISG.
The winning firms and engineers were felicitated in the presence of Amit Chadha, CEO & Managing Director of LTTS, Michael P Connors, Chairman and CEO of ISG, and Parikshit Luthra, Deputy Editor and Chief of Bureau at Network 18, at an event attended by leaders from more than 30 global organizations.
