NSCA, the not-for-profit association representing the commercial integration industry, announced it is now accepting applications from systems integrators for the 2025 Excellence in Business Awards. The organization will accept applications through Jan. 17, 2025, and winners will be announced by Feb. 3, 2025. There are no entry fees.
According to NSCA, companies with solid business sense and creative transformation tactics continually beat their competitors to the finish line — whether it’s in terms of revenue and profit margin, talent development, or customer service. The 2025 Excellence in Business Awards will recognize the integrators who achieve that in unique ways to improve performance.
Winners will be honored in a variety of NSCA and industry publications, blogs, social media posts and newsletters, as well as being recognized at NSCA’s 27th annual Business & Leadership Conference (BLC) on Feb. 25-27, 2025, in Irving, Texas.
2025 Excellence in Business Awards Details
The application for the Excellence in Business Awards is now available. During the Opening Night Dinner at NSCA’s BLC, representatives from each winning company will discuss their successful business strategies and transformations with other BLC attendees.
Integrators can apply in one of the following categories:
- Business Performance (establishing new methods for accurate job costing, finding ways to reduce operating expenses, etc.)
- Customer Experience (improving customer satisfaction scores, etc.)
- Differentiating Strategies (implementing new sales strategies, offering new types of services, etc.)
- Employee Engagement (improving corporate culture, increasing job satisfaction, etc.)
- Strategic Transformation (entering new markets, increasing RMR, etc.)
- Talent Development (finding new recruitment strategies, providing career development, etc.)
“Integrators must stay relevant if they want to thrive in this ever-changing environment filled with uncertainty,” says Tom LeBlanc, executive director at NSCA. “It’s not easy to keep up as sales ebb and flow, margins shrink, customers have new demands, and technology changes. That’s why we continue to recognize the integrators that don’t back away from this challenge. Instead, they dedicate time and effort to finding innovative ways to stay relevant, improve services, attract new talent and land new business.”
