The jury, consisting of Peter Burghardt (TechConsult), Klaus Dudda (Medienhaus Verlag), Markus Reimer (anfema GmbH), Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar (Chair of Computer Science, TU Munich) and Werner Nieberle (Vogel IT-Medien GmbH), selected the winners from the numerous top-class applicants. The criteria were the novelty of the idea, the implementation and the market opportunities of the offers.
There were beaming faces at app@work, which was one step ahead of its competitors Höft & Wessel, NEO Mobile Suite, SystAG and T-Systems in the "Workforce Mobility" category with its Sandman.MD app. The award for "Business Process Mobilization" went to Deutsche Bahn's "TIM" project. The decision was extremely close - ConSys, IDeXs, MHP and Telcat had also submitted pioneering solutions. In the "Customer Experience / Customer Recruitment" category, Interboden was awarded the Animus project, beating n-tv, NuBON, Seven Principles and T-Systems by a hair's breadth. Cisco was also delighted to receive the first "Innovation Award" for the Connected Mobile Experience. Competitors AirWatch, Avaya, Cortado and ESTOS also scored top marks.
