e-Business Awards

The annual i-FM e-business Award is for companies and organisations in the facilities sector that are exploiting new technologies, particularly the internet, to improve business processes and performance.

Now that the hype surrounding e-commerce has subsided, the focus has switched to the tangible and enduring business benefits to be gained from new information and communication technologies.

This Award is not just another website design award (although websites are certainly included), but covers the whole range of ‘e’ initiatives, including company intranets and customer extranets, e-procurement, desktop services, online PR and marketing campaigns, project websites, online benchmarking and other information services.

This year's i-FM e-business Award drew an exceptionally strong field of contenders. The shortlisted finalists for 2009 were:

 

  
Atkins, for its Identification and Verification Project for Barclays



  
ChardFM, for its CAFM-based integrated project solution




HSS Hire, for its 'Live Hire' system and website



LCC Support Services, for its integrated business management system.

 

The Award was presented at the PFM Partnership Awards dinner held in London on November 11th.
The winner of the 2009 i-FM e-business Award is Chardfm.
