About the ANNY Award
First awarded in 2012, the ANNY Award recognizes data and advanced analytics teams who have made profound changes on their organizations by applying advanced analytics to the most pressing and impactful business problems. Each year, IIA’s esteemed panel of independent judges narrows the long list of applications received to three finalists and the winner is announced during our annual ANNY Award Showcase.
