Integration Consortium Award for Excellence
The Integration Consortium Award for Excellence is a designation given to Individuals or companies following a submission and peer review process by Integration Consortium members.
Award for Excellence candidates will demonstrate leadership by submitting whitepapers or case studies following the theme set by the Integration Consortium Board of Directors for the current year.
Award for Excellence recipients will be successful in achieving "top marks" from the review team, comprised of Integration Consortium members.
All accepted papers will be included in the IC's Integration Journal. In the past, this publication has been referred to as the Proceedings Book from the Global Integration Summit. The rationale for the name change is to expand the publication beyond it's previous ties to the Global Integration Summit as a stand alone Integration Consortium publication.
