'Demonstrate indisputable business value' has become the charter of IT organisations. It is also the framework for Information Age's Effective IT Programme.

The Effective IT Report, published annually, identifies the set of technologies and strategies that are currently generating that core value; and the Effective IT Conference brings together industry-leading figures to provide insight into how to ensure the delivery of that value.
But the real celebration of all the hard work behind such IT projects culminates in the Effective IT Awards, when an esteemed group of judges (see panel) reveals the projects and teams that have excelled in creating that value.
For the 2005 awards, the 400 and more entries judged drew a torrent of superlatives: "Impressive solution"; "Huge ROI"; "Well-spotted opportunity"; "Good customer focus".
This report celebrates the achievements of the 40 organisations whose projects made it to the final and the charity awards ceremony on 23 June. The quality of their entries was just one of the high points of the evening - but their participation ensured the event raised £40,000 for the Wooden Spoon charity, which helps disadvantaged children.
That is another kind of demonstrable value that all those involved should be proud of.
