Judging Process
The spirit of the Data Breakthrough Awards is to highlight the BREAK THROUGH products, solutions and companies within the crowded data technology market.
Judging Criteria
We intentionally keep the submission process simple, focused on nominees addressing the question – “How does your company or product break through the crowded data market?”
The judging process is also a streamlined one. All award nominations are fully analyzed, evaluated and scored by our expert panel of judges, representing a mix of technical, business, academic and marketing expertise within the industry.
