Dentons wins at IT World Canada’s Digital Transformation Awards 2020 for Dentons Data

Dentons is proud to be acknowledged by IT World Canada (ITWC) for using technology to push the boundaries within a traditionally conservative marketplace. The Firm topped five other finalists in the Large Private Sector category of the ITWC 2020 Digital Transformation Awards, which were announced in July, 2020.

The impetus for the award came from Dentons Data, an end-to-end suite of services addressing client needs on a fixed-fee basis. Conceived by Kirsten Thompson, partner and national lead of Dentons' Transformative Technologies and Data Strategy group, the service launched in 2019 and includes a customizable suite of innovative products and services enabling businesses to convert their complex data into concrete actionable elements, while avoiding privacy pitfalls, cybersecurity breaches, and other regulatory obstacles.

"Look around a courtroom and you will see an industry steeped in tradition that is pretty hard to shake off," says Fawn Annan, President of ITWC. "But Dentons has embraced technology and as a result is driving a better user experience that saves time, money and improves companies’ speed to innovation."

The other finalists in the Large Private Sector category were CIBC, Samsung Electronics, PCL Construction, Dream Industrial REIT, and Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan.

The Digital Transformation Award program was launched in 2017 to find successful case studies for organizations looking for examples to follow in their own transformation journey. The program receives nominations from companies and public sector organizations coast to coast. An independent panel of industry experts judges the award winners based on a number of key considerations.
