The Jury
Sunday, June 17, 2007
The last step in deciding the winners for the Best IT Implementation awards is the jury
meet. The PCQuest team presents the shortlisted projects to the jury. Plus, A synopsis of
what the previous year’s juries have done and the yardsticks they used is shared with
the jury. After that, it’s up to the jury to decide the winners. The jury comprises
of representatives from the IT industry, IT users, and media. One member of the jury is
chosen from the last year’s winners. Another thing that was ensured during the
deliberations was to avoid any conflict of interest. So in case a jury member was involved
in any of the projects, then that
person was requested to withdraw from that particular discussion.
