The Planisware annual awards event at Exchange24 celebrates customer achievements in the categories of innovation, digital transformation, and automation and productivity that benefits the customer’s organization and business strategy.
All customer submissions were shared with the Customer Jury, a panel of PPM peers composed of Planisware customers who were previous Excellence Award winners. The Planisware Excellence Award categories this year were for Innovation, Digital Transformation, and Automation & Productivity. This year’s award recipients were selected using criteria based on how innovative the solution was, how the submission supports the business value achieved, the impact their submission would have on an organization with a similar problem, and an overall demonstration of how the problem was resolved with Planisware solutions.
Award recipients were announced during the Awards Ceremony at Exchange24 in Philadelphia, PA to an audience of Planisware customers, partners, and employees.
