Bangkok--11 Mar--IDC Research
IDC Financial Insights announces the 11 winners of the annual Financial Insights Innovation Awards (FIIA) at the Asian Financial Services Congress 2016. The recipients were recognized for setting technological precedents in the use of innovation to drive new, successful business cases within their peer ecosystems.
Every year, IDC Financial Insights invites financial institutions across Asia/Pacific to nominate their flagship initiatives which were undertaken within the last 18 months. With nearly a hundred highly-qualified submissions put forward in 2015, the FIIA program continues to be one of the most sought-after awards in the industry.
IDC Financial Insights recognizes the following organizations that have managed to distinguish themselves as having not only effective solutions that meet the challenges of today's dynamic market conditions, but also in establishing altogether-new standards in the use of IT.
The merits of all submissions are measured by the FIIA Assessment Panel, comprising of Financial Insights' lead analysts as well as independent judges from a panel of veteran industry practitioners and thought-leaders. The evaluation process subjects each initiative to a rigorous set of scoring metrics that takes into account its responsiveness to market needs, effectiveness of deployment, and market response and long-term business viability.
"The rising quality of submissions we receive year after year affirms the fact that the standard of technological excellence has risen. Yet, the difference between 'success stories' that simply meet fleeting KPIs and actual, definitive IT best practices remains one that is seldom appreciated," says Ho Sui-Jon, the Program Director of the FIIA and a member of IDC Financial Insights judging panel.
"Our winners this year have provided exemplary demonstrations of not just how to innovate and transform, but how to do so cohesively, in alignment with their businesses, competitive ecosystems, and structural limitations," ends Mr. Ho.
