While a few notable companies have maintained their position consistently year after year showcasing their leadership and best practices, the awards have also demonstrated a dynamic honour roll that includes emerging players along with the ‘big daddies' of the industry.
Among the consistent champions was IBM Daksh that has maintained its title as the Contact Center Outsourcing Service provider of the year, for the fifth year in a row and Huawei Technologies for the Fixed Broadband Equipment Vendor of the year, retaining the title for four consequent years.
Other notable recipients who have maintained their 2009 positions were Microsoft for the Unified Communications Vendor of the year, Intercall for the Conferencing and Collaboration Service Provider of the year, Alcatel-Lucent for Optical Vendor of the year, and Axiata Group for the Best Telecom Group.
The Award program represents the entire spectrum of enterprise solution vendors, telecom equipment vendors and service providers in Asia Pacific. There is also a best-ofthe-best category that recognises the best vendor, service provider, telecom group, innovative application and CEO of the year. The Awards are held annually and seek to recognize companies and individuals who have pushed the boundaries of excellence, rising above the competition and demonstrating outstanding performance in the ICT industry across the region for base year 2009.
"Despite the difficult economic climate in 2009, the award recipients demonstrated great success. They attained key wins with strategies including product and service innovation, customer focus and robust business models. Vendors excelled by offering tailored solutions focusing on individual markets rather than just offering products. Successful service providers used bundling and blending of services and effective market segmentation to monetize their networks and maximum their return on network investments. The award recipients are industry leaders in Asia Pacific and are shaping the ICT landscape of this region," said, Manoj Menon, Partner and Asia Pacific Managing
Director at Frost & Sullivan.
Historically, Japanese, Korean, South Asian as well as Greater China players have dominated the take-up of these coveted titles. This year rising stars, from emerging markets such as Telkomsel from Indonesia, Metfone from Cambodia and Axiata from Bangladesh have ousted competition and claimed prestigious titles for themselves.
