First European Identity Award

"Kuppinger Cole + Partner will celebrate the first European Identity Award as part of the European Identity Conference (EIC) 2008, to be held April 22nd to 25th in Munich (www.id-conf.com).
The award will be given in six categories:

• Best innovation in Identity Management
• Best new standard/improved standard in Identity Management
• Best project within the last 12 months: Internal use of Identity Management
• Best project within the last 12 months: B2B use of Identity Management
• Best project within the last 12 months: B2C use of Identity Management
• Best project within the last 12 months: Identity Management in eGovernment

We kindly ask you to make proposals for the latter four categories. Each proposal shall consist of a one page description of the project explaining the project and why the project is, from your point of view, a candidate for the award.

The project has to have been finalized within the last 12 months.
The jury will consist of KCP analysts. The awards will be handed during an evening event at the EIC 2008.
For sure there will be journalists and we will provide press releases about the award.
We will take nominations until March 10th, 2008. Email your nominations directly to Martin Kuppinger.

Please clarify whether the nominees will be available for a best practice presentation during EIC 2008. We would like to see the winners and some close followers as best practice presentations."
