Recognizing Excellence in Digital Transformation amongst technology service providers

Athena, the Olympic goddess of wisdom and war, the inspiration behind the Golden Athena awards, is known to be nonpareil in her strength and ingenuity, her name synonymous with strategic thinking and decisive action. The Golden Athena Awards are a tribute to these ideas.

Given that the future entails great uncertainties, and every day we face new and constantly evolving challenges, it is these talents of strategic thinking, inventiveness, warrior-like trailblazing that we must seek and reward. The Golden Athena awards was created to recognize contenders who embody these qualities. It rewards true and rare excellence and will be presented to a company within the service provider community that has made a significant impact toward accelerating digital transformation.

To enter, contenders need to submit use cases of their victories/ wins, clearly demonstrating the business outcomes achieved and the approach and solution they crafted to get there.

Among the nominees, the Third Eye experts panel will select one case study based on predefined criteria. Our experts will publish a standalone paper that highlights the impact that the service provider has been able to demonstrate and showcase the approaches to other enterprises who can leverage these insights. The paper will include details of why the team was chosen, client view and service provided.

Winners in each category will be feted at the award ceremony in Las Vegas on June 20th 2023.

Last date for submission is March 24, 2023.
