Infosys, Wharton invite nominations

Infosys Technologies Ltd and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania have invited nominations from companies and individuals who have broken new ground and pioneered information technology in a way that adds value to the organisation, their industry and to the world.

For the third year, the Wharton Infosys Business Transformation Awards will 'salute' corporations and leaders who bring about real, lasting change through information technology, an Infosys statement said.

The awards were founded in 2002 by Infosys and the William and Phyllis Mack Centre for Technological Innovation at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

The winners, the statement said, will be selected by a jury of business luminaries and corporate leaders from across the globe.

The jury includes Sir Paul Judge (Bankers and Chair of the Cambridge Judge Institute of Management), Esther Dyson (Chairman of Edventure Holdings), David Boyle (former COO of ANZ Banking Group), Harbir Singh (Director of Wharton's Mack Centre for Emerging Technologies) and N R Narayana Murthy (Chairman and Chief Mentor of Infosys).
