Sydney, Australia - November 10, 2022 - The Technology Business Management (TBM) Council, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to advancing the discipline of TBM through education and standards that empower collaboration between IT leaders and business partners, today announced the winners of the 10th annual TBM Council Awards. 

The TBM Council Awards provide a front-row seat to the rapidly changing technology landscape. Among past nominees, we've seen mass migration to the cloud, adoption of Agile-at-scale approaches, and increased investment in digital platforms. These awards show us the formidable impact of TBM on businesses, their people, and their customers. Winners represent a diverse array of companies from around the world and across industry verticals, including healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, logistics, and government. 

"On the 10th anniversary of TBM Council, having the opportunity to honour such leading-edge companies that have been able to achieve true business revolutions with TBM is an honour. It's a true testament to the decade of collaboration and innovation that has come out of the Council and its members," said Eileen Wade, general manager of the TBM Council. "TBM has proven to be a key discipline for the evolution and transformation of enterprises in their modernisation efforts. We are proud of the winners of this year's TBM Council Awards and how they continue to innovate their business practices and drive proven business value." 

Nominees were evaluated for quantitative results like cost savings, as well as other factors including the ability of teams to shift money from run-the-business to change-the-business, fund innovation programs, optimise public cloud spending, and deliver high return on investment from project and product portfolios.
