Digital Workplace Group is excited to announce the winners of our second Digital Workplace of the Year Awards. The Awards are produced by DWG in partnership with SMG/CMSWire, and celebrate organizations and practitioners who have excelled this year in creating well-executed, high-performing digital workplace environments.

The panel of independent judges scored the entries separately, these scores were then tallied, and finally the judges and Awards team met to discuss and finalize the results.

“The standard of entries for this second year has progressed strongly in both quality and quantity. The other judges and I were collectively very impressed by much of what we read and saw. Naturally it was hard to select the best from so much great entries – but that’s our job and that’s what we did. This year we decided also to give ‘special mention’ awards to enterprises where we saw areas of particular excellence and we will continue this broader range of awards in 2019,” said Paul Miller, Founder and CEO of DWG.
