Reviews of submissions and selection of 2-4 finalists for each category will be carried out by a judging panel. The Paragon Awards judging criteria is powered by Digital Case Study Research Framework, which is unique in its focus on how enterprises partner with providers. The methodology to select the Awards finalists includes the enterprise clients validating each case study/nomination, revealing deep insights into factors common across the most successful digital programs.

All submissions will be treated, in general, as confidential. They will not be shared outside the judging team without permission until finalists are announced. Details of the finalists will be announced Monday, 31 October 2022 on the ISG website – www.isg-one.com.

All winners will be announced at the ISG Sourcing Industry Awards Gala Dinner as a part of the ISG Sourcing Industry Week EMEA on Tuesday, 22 November 2022 at The Park Plaza Victoria in London, UK.
