NAPLES, Fla. (August 18, 2008) - The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI), the premier provider of in-depth, high-quality education and training in business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing (DW), has announced the 2008 winners of its annual Best Practices Awards. ASG Software Solutions, the originator of ASG's Business Service Platform (BSP , a true platform for Business Service Management (BSM), was named the co-winner of The Data Warehousing Institute's Best Practice Award in the category of Data Governance along with HSBC...

ASG Software Solutions and HSBC worked together on the award application and submission, and ASG is a solution sponsor of the HSBC nomination. The application focused on the improvements and business benefits that HSBC has realised with its ASG-Rochade implementation.

TDWI's Best Practices Awards program is designed to identify and honour companies that have demonstrated excellence in developing, deploying, and maintaining BI and DW applications. Winners are chosen by a panel of independent judges who have expertise in BI and DW. Companies and sponsoring solution providers from many diverse industries submitted entries to be judged in a variety of categories.

TDWI's panel of judges evaluated all submissions on four criteria: business impact, maturity, innovation, and relevance. "As business intelligence continues to evolve, it becomes more and more imperative that BI/DW practioners share best practices and lessons learned with the industry. By recognising and honouring these innovative implementations through the Best Practices Awards program, we hope to provide a platform that fosters information-sharing and ultimately the advancement of the business intelligence industry," says Richard Zbylut, general manager of TDWI.

Best Practices Awards winners will be honoured at the TDWI World Conference in San Diego in August. Representatives of each company, along with their solution sponsors, will receive awards and be available to discuss their winning implementations with attendees.
