Industry analyst firm Info-Tech Research Group has launched a nationwide contest to recognize and reward both Canada's smartest and greenest mid-market IT departments. Nominate yourself or a friend to 'Smart People' today, or stay tuned to the contest and nominees via Twitter.

”In the true spirit of community, we’re issuing a challenge to Canadian IT professionals to share their stories, best practices, tips and aha moments through our website and social networks so that departments across the country can get smarter,” says James Alexander, Senior Vice-President for Info-Tech Research Group and one of the campaigns resident ‘Smart People.’

During the four month campaign the research firm will comb the country searching for and interviewing Canadian IT departments with a smart story to tell. The interviews can be viewed on YouTube and Facebook at the link below.

Along with bragging rights, rewards include having your story featured along with your company logo in CIO Magazine and Computerworld Canada and a night of celebration as the country’s smartest and greenest come together at an awards gala in Toronto.

In addition to awarding the best of the best, The Quest for Canada’s Smartest IT promises to engage and educate mid-market organizations on the smart use of technology, to drive value for themselves and the communities in which they live and work. Podcasts, webinars, whitepapers and online discussion groups are all available on the contest website for those looking to improve their IT operations.
