Subject: ACL Impact Awards - Information Update
Dear
Leaders,
As you may know, we hold an annual customer award - The ACL Impact Award -
and 2009 marks its 12th year.
Since 2007, we have linked this award to Connections, the ACL Global User
Conference. At Connections 2008, we had 4 of the 5 winners in attendance
to receive their awards.
Again
this year, the program will launch March 2-4, 2009 and the Grand Prize winner
will hopefully be telling their story at the user conference in New York in
June or at our European event in September.
Awards and Categories - Changes for 2009
All entrants are required to complete a short Entry Form describing
how they have utilized ACL technology. No data or ACL software files are
required. Awards are divided into the categories noted below. Applicants may
apply in more than one category. All entries received by the deadline of May 8,
2009 will be considered for the Grand Prize and Regional Awards.
Most Promising Novice Award - NEW
Ideal for a new user who has been using ACL technology for less than two years. Describe how you have been using ACL technology in your role to demonstrate your potential in using the software.
Most Innovative Use Award - NEW
Demonstration of the most innovate use of ACL technology. Describe how you have used ACL technology with your own flair for innovation and creativity with less emphasis on overall business impact.
Audit Team Award - NEW
Perfect for teams or departments who can illustrate how they have been using ACL technology to solve business challenges or change business processes. Describe how using ACL has enabled you to become more efficient and effective and show results where possible.
Grand Prize Award
Based on all entries received the story should outline business challenges and how ACL technology helped resolved them. Quantifiable results (time, money, people etc) and overall departmental or organization benefits received. List measurable results achieved; cost savings, recoveries made, productivity gains (weeks/days/hours saved), improved processes (manual to automation) etc.
Regional Winners Award
Based on those applicants who are short-listed for the Grand Prize Award as the runner up in their region. Entries should show business impact with quantifiable results.
Entries
will be short-listed by a panel of ACL judges. Candidates may be asked (rare)
to provide technical documentation of their ACL application(s) and provide
additional information about their story. At no time will the technical
documentation be shared outside of ACL Services Ltd.
ACL will only
publish the winners names and their stories with the consent of the participant
and their organization.
