The Excellence in Information Integrity (EII) Awards Program
Information Integrity is the dependability and trustworthiness of information. More specifically, it is the accuracy, consistency and reliability of the information content, and associated processes, systems and environments.
Since 1995, the prestigious Excellence in Information Integrity (EII) Awards have been presented to organizations that have put forth a concerted effort to provide accurate, consistent and reliable information to their customers, suppliers and partners.
Through the Excellence in Information Integrity Awards Program, the Information Integrity Coalition (IIC) seeks to increase awareness of the importance of Information Integrity and draws attention to significant economic benefits of managing and improving Information Integrity.
Open to any organization that has made demonstrable progress towards achieving Information Integrity, the Excellence in Information Integrity (EII) Awards Program offers a great opportunity for you to:
your commitment to Information Integrity
to customers, regulators and
stakeholders.
your Information Integrity best practices with
other organizations
from around the globe.
the importance of Information Integrity to protect
the value of your
enterprise information assets.
the cause of Information Integrity.
