In her message, Ms. Elicaño thanked IDC for the award. “I would like to thank IDC for this recognition, showing us that Yes, this Filipino company can compete with the multinationals. Yes, this Filipino company can be a leader in this field where most may waver or falter. And Yes, this Filipino company has the innovative spirit and the focused commitment to pursue digital transformation.”

IDC’s DX Awards follows a two-phased approach to determine the country and regional winners. Each nomination is evaluated by a local and regional IDC analyst against a standard assessment framework based on IDC’s DX taxonomy. All country winners will qualify for the regional competition, which will be decided by a regional panel of judges comprised of IDC Worldwide analysts, industry thought leaders, and academia.
