About the Award
This award recognizes the CIO s for their contributions to the organization’s advancement through the use of Enterprise and IT Architecture. This award also recognizes the potential of CIOs to use architecture experience to plan organizations for accelerated transition, promote growth strategies, and influence skills that function as a “market differentiator.”
We also want to congratulate all of the professionals (600) who entered this year; we received many outstanding projects and profiles. Our only regret is that there can only be only few winners.

More about the awards
Global Digital Architecture Excellence Awards 2021
Recent years have witnessed rapid growth in new technologies, re-imagined business processes, innovative business models, tighter regulations, heightened customer preferences etc., etc. within the Enterprise.
This has resulted in a need to properly Architect Business and Technology Solutions both at the Enterprise and Solution level. Although many have realized this, very few Enterprise Architecture Programs can be thought of as “Excellent”.
At ICMG, our vision is to recognize and reward digital Architecture Excellence for the good of the Enterprise.
Modeling contributes significantly towards this and within ICMG we call this approach
“Inter-Connected Models for the Good of the Enterprise”.
Three groups of awards
01 Global Architecture Rating & Excellence Awards (Global)
02 Regional Architecture Rating & Excellence Awards (Regional)
03 Regional Architecture Rating & Achievement Awards (Regional)

Award Jury
Jury members have very important work in hand.
They are the lifeline of the award competition. They need to go through the dozen-odd pages for each entry, prepare questions that are not addressed in the submission document, understanding (and deciphering) content, managing information collected, prioritizing and exercising valuation wisely.
In one hand, they need to appreciate creative thinking while in other hand maintain adherence to guidelines.
Sometimes, they have nominations that challenge their intellect which they discuss with other jury members. Each award category is evaluated by 3-4 jury members. It connects jury members across different geography (city/ country, industry, etc.) and brings close interaction among them.
