2010 ALGIM Innovation Awards

The Annual ALGIM Conference showcases groundbreaking New Zealand council case studies (DOC, 103 KB) and offers participating local authorities the opportunity to win a prestigious ALGIM Innovation Award. This year the Innovation Awards were especially exciting with the introduction of a new VMware award which recognises and celebrates the use of VMware within local government. The prize for this award is attendance at VMWorld in San Francisco.

The aim of the Innovation Awards is to recognise and celebrate excellence in information management, best practice in information technology, and outstanding leadership within New Zealand local government. The awards also have a strong place in raising the profile of local government IT amongst the broader community.
