"Our Marketing Excellence Awards focus exclusively on B2B marketing for services and solutions and are based on a comprehensive and strategic approach to marketing, recognizing that business success today requires marketers to move beyond the traditional realm of communications," said Dave Munn, ITSMA president and chief executive officer. "We congratulate the CSC team for an outstanding program that looked beyond flash and glitz to emphasize excellence in the three most critical aspects of success: innovation, execution and business results." "The success of WikonnecT is fueled by its value in bringing together clients to solve common problems and share best practices, lessons learned and ideas for product innovation," said David Booth, president of CSC's Global Sales and Marketing organization. "Because of the growing demand for B2B social networking, we are expanding the site to additional industry sectors and regions."
