The 2023 Best Practices Award Winners Have Been Announced!
Once a year, TDWI honors the most forward-thinking, ROI-generating, and industry-leading teams through our TDWI Best Practices Awards program.
Winners are chosen by a panel of independent judges who have expertise in the field. They select winners based on written entry forms and, if needed, follow-up interviews. Judges score entries on business value, maturity, innovation, and relevance to other organizations.

Entrant Eligibility Requirements
Eligible entrants are any private or public company, government agency, or nonprofit organization that has implemented a data or analytics implementation to enhance organizational decision making or operations. Applicants may nominate themselves for this award or their solution vendor may nominate them. If you are a solution vendor, you may only nominate yourself if you are submitting an internal implementation that involves more than implementing your own product.
Organizations can apply for both categories, but must submit a separate entry form for each category, where each entry is tailored to its category. Companies that submitted entries in previous years (but were not chosen) may enter again, but entry forms must be updated for the current year and re-submitted. Winners from a previous year may submit an entry for a new or different data or analytics solution.
Judging Criteria
A team of judges comprised of TDWI staff and faculty members will evaluate the entries using the following criteria:
- Business Impact. What is the business value of the data or analytics initiative?
- Maturity. To what degree has the solution’s ‘vision’ been implemented? Has the solution been operating long enough to corroborate business impact and growth?
- Relevance. Does the data or analytics solution exemplify best practices that other companies can adopt?
- Innovation. Does the data or analytics solution use an innovative design or approach? Innovation can relate to technology, business, organization, methodology, and so on.
