Managers of each of the top 3 scoring enterprises were extensively interviewed
in a bid to understand the finer nuances of the IT implementation strategy of
the enterprise.
Post this, the details of individual implementations
of the top 3 scorers are then shared with the by an eminent jury, appointed by
NASSCOM. The eminent jury consists of Dinesh Kumar (Executive Director, IT,
