More than 3,800 nominations from organizations of all sizes and virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.

"To help our customers prepare for the future, our annual Innovation Summit brings together the top minds in the industry for an opportunity to network and share best practices."
This year's Innovation Summit assembled leading customer brands across financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, security, energy and other major industries to cover topics such as 5G, artificial intelligence, cyber security, digital transformation, edge computing, internet of things, software defined networking and more.

According to IDC's Shawn Fitzgerald, "digitally determined companies , those succeeding at digital transformation (DX), demonstrate three key attributes; a unified, enterprise digital business strategy; a single roadmap for implementing digital technologies and business capabilities; and the need for a digital platform for enabling digital with speed, scale, and agility. Digital transformation is both a long-game and a team sport so having a strategy along with planning horizons, combined with strategic partners like MetTel, enables critical parts of the technology roadmap and are central for realizing competitively differentiated DX outcomes."
